Signet

General
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, their downside is that they usually have a long Recharge Time of 20 seconds or more, and/or a long Activation Time.

The most popular Signet is Resurrection Signet. For a complete list of signets, see Category:Signet.

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 usefull 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.
