Spirit's Passion

This spell is a part of the Spiritual Sight spell chain and can be found in the Spiritual Sight rune stone.

Having grown with The Spirit living within their very runic soul, the animancer knows a feeling far too few ever experience - what it feels to be seen, to be known, to be accepted, and perhaps even loved. Whether or not if the Spirit is capable of love matters not here, the animancer feels it all the same. As the animancer watches their friend struggle, they wonder to themself - do they feel the same as me, or do they feel alone in their struggle? Wishing to share the experience of true passion, true belonging, the animancer whispers inward, but the Spirit had already begun moving to their friend. As the Spirit settles within their friend, they feel a strange sense of warmness, a passion building within them - one that comes from belonging and genuine care. For but a moment it takes the ally by surprise, a tear forming as they experience what the animancer has known for so long now, and finally they no longer feel alone. While lost in this moment of emotional rapture, they are struck by an enemy and realize that they felt it less than before. Any damage dealt to them, be it magical or physical, is reduced by 25%. Turning towards the enemy they strike back with greater power than they ever had before, their total damage increased by 50%. The ally also finds themself unable to feel sad, or to suffer from other similar status effects that attack their mental well being such as loss of self, depression, anxiety, rage, and fear. As the spell draws to an end, just as the ally is finally getting used to the feeling of not being alone, the Spirit leaves and returns to the animancer's runic soul. The ally falls to their knees crying for a reason they cannot explain, except perhaps the longing for a feeling that remained but for such a short time. The ally is stunned for that round, unable to act or react until they can collect themselves once again.
