Signet

General
Signet: "A skill that costs no Energy to use."

Signets are skills that invoke Signet rings. Signet rings are empowered with magical inscriptions and, when used, invoke spell-like effects without the use of energy. To balance the zero energy cost, signets usually have a long Recharge Time of 20 seconds or more, and/or a long Activation Time.

Usage Notes

 * Useful situations to use a Signet include when you have run out of energy or when you want to save energy.
 * Signets may also be useful when you have hexes (like Backfire and Guilt) that prevent you from using spells. For example, you can safely clear such a hex with a Purge Signet without triggering the hex effect.
 * Signets are not spells. This is important when interacting with some other skills, like Divine Boon or Power Leak.
