The Absolution spell is now on a one-week Premium preview across all instances.


Absolution is an Advanced Utility Ritual that is signature to Empaths. I will let the spell description speak for itself.

>Absolution is a bitter spell, one which the Khalo refuse to teach. Nonetheless it has propagated in the corners of the Five Provinces for its sheer utility. By undergoing the ritual of Absolution, an Empath may dull his talent. While detrimental to his healing and general bodily health, it has one dramatic advantage: while the dampening effect remains, the Empath is too far removed from the twisted life essence of the Undead to empathize with them. A warrior-empath is thus able to confront the undead hordes and their lich overlords with impunity.

A Body Purification focus has been added to the Crossing Artificer shop.

This uses the same logic as the recently updated PERC <critter> update to determine undeadness. I have heard no complaints so far, but bear in mind...
1) There may be cases where critters are not assigned the proper category. Please let me know.
2) This spell DOES NOT affect "evil" creatures that happen to be alive, only those that are literally undead. PERC first.

If you get shocked in a case where clearly you shouldn't (such as attacking a zombie), please ASSIST and I will get to you as soon as I can. If you get shocked because the spell duration expires or you did human error, I reserve the right to Nelson laugh.

Have fun.
