This spell is a part of the Spiritual Link spell chain and is found in the Spiritual Link rune stone.
To be spiritually linked to your ally is to have a connection unlike any other. You are linked to your ally's very runic soul. This connection allows for you to do something no other animancer can do, to truly protect your ally by taking on the damage for your ally. As such, the animancer can only ever cast this spell when they are already linked to their ally through the spell Spiritual Link. With such a bond in place, should the ally take damage, the animancer will react, casting the spell that others have rightfully called Sacrifice, for they are literally sacrificing their very life for their ally. The enemy may hit the ally, but the ally will feel nothing from it. The animancer, through the established spiritual link, experiences it in their place. This act of sacrifice moves the Spirit of Life, who intervenes to reduce the absorbed damage by half. Any status effects that are part of the attack are ignored as the Spirit refuses for them to take effect.
