Item Spell

General
The names of all s follow the pattern "(Adjective) Was (Person's Name)", for example: Mighty Was Vorizun.

By holding the ashes (i.e. the urn) of a dead person a Ritualist may receive a boon of some kind, e.g. healing, protection, damage to foes, or others. The effect will happen either while you carry the urn and/or when you drop it. s do not create spirits.

Side Effects
Note that while you "hold the ashes" you are actually physically holding the urn with your hands, instead of your weapons. This means: As soon as you drop the urn (by hitting the "drop" button or by changing to a Weapon Set), you re-equip your weapons and gain back all bonuses.
 * The urn will be visible in your hands and you will see a "Drop Item" button on your screen.
 * You cannot attack with your weapons.
 * You will not gain the bonus effects from any weapon upgrades or weapon modifiers.
 * You will not gain any energy bonus of your weapon/focus. (Note: This can be used to end hexes like Ether Lord or Wither.)
