Ritual = Spell?
Do rituals, binding and nature, count as spells? --Rapta 23:35, 17 June 2006 (CDT)
 * no they are not spells. evidence of this is the Aspect of Failure in The Deep. Binding rituals work just fine under that aspect. --Honorable Sarah [[image:Honorable_Icon.gif]] 00:17, 18 June 2006 (CDT)
 * actually, now that i think about it, Nature Rituals are reduced by Expertise, which only works on non-spell skills. --Honorable Sarah [[image:Honorable_Icon.gif]] 00:19, 18 June 2006 (CDT)


 * Yup, all mesmer spell interrupts (like Power Spike) do not work on them. Gotta use a hard interrupt. --Karlos 04:25, 18 June 2006 (CDT)
 * Ah, thanks for the clerification. --Rapta 18:15, 19 June 2006 (CDT)


 * I'm assuming this also applies to HSR and HCT items... so, for example, a 20/20 communing focus is useless for binding rituals? Vyral 20:16, 9 September 2006 (CDT)


 * Correct -- [[Image:Ritualist-icon-small.png]] Cwingnam2000 20:25, 9 September 2006 (CDT)

Binding Rituals: Something I Noticed
So, today I was playing a channeling rit using Spirit Siphon, among other things, for energy management. While using it, it got me thinking: just what is the energy if a binding ritual? Is it the same for all of them? Does the spirit level count? Basically, I filled my bar with binding rituals (using at least one from each different attribute) and brought along Spirit Siphon. What I found was this: And while using Spirit Siphon in a combat situation, I learned this: Someone has probably already figured this out, and meh, I guess it's pretty useless, but I was curious, so just in case someone else ever gets curious this is here. If anyone thinks this should be posted in the article, go ahead.--Timeoffire45 20:52, 20 February 2007 (CST)
 * All binding rituals, regardless of level, have 31 energy maximum.
 * All binding rituals, regardless of level, gain 5 energy every 3.25 seconds (casting + recharge time of Spirit Siphon), which rounded gives spirits an energy regeneration of 5.
 * All spirit attacks require no energy.

 * poop... and here I thought I had figured something out *sigh* ah well... --Timeoffire45 21:20, 20 February 2007 (CST)
