Understanding effective skill
Which value counts? Only BASE Spirit Speak contributes to direct Arcanism PvM damage.
How to use it, step by step
If a step says to use a skill, open your character window, choose Skills and use the button beside that skill. If it says to use a tool, double-click the tool in your backpack. Passive benefits work automatically.
- Activate Spirit Speak from the skill list.
- Each activation performs the normal training/gain check. Keep the skill set to Up and leave room under the shared 720 cap, or set another skill to Down.
- No target, corpse, pet, summon, enemy or missing HP or mana is needed. Normal gain, anti-macro and Academy rules still apply.
What changes as your skill rises
Read the conditions above each table. A percentage may describe a chance, a damage component or a multiplier: those are different things. The other values stay fixed unless the table says otherwise.
What the skill affects: Only BASE Spirit Speak contributes to direct Arcanism PvM damage.

Advanced notes
Things to remember
- Maximum skill: 100. No benefit above 100.
- No PvP effect. No contribution to Bard Template Power or ordinary Magery.
- The damage support is passive: you do not need to press the button before attacking. Successful eligible offensive Arcanism impacts or applied Arcane Curse offer an additional Spirit Speak training path. Arbitrary kills alone do not.
Training and Skill Progression
TRAINING / SKILL PROGRESSION
One recommended activity for each skill range, with a short note on what you need.
Before you start: set Spirit Speak to Up and leave room under the shared 720-point total. Set an unwanted skill to Down if the total is full.
NPC training: when the trainer listed for this skill offers a lesson, the fixed price is 300 gold and the lesson can reach 50.0 if both the individual and total caps have room.
Training area: supported Academy actions receive 5× normal gain through 80.0. An action still needs to run a real skill check; the Academy bonus cannot make an automatic or blocked action train.
Recommended training
Repeat the single activity listed for your level. These are practical training choices; the ranges are recommendations, not new unlock requirements.
| Your skill | What to repeat | Quick note |
|---|---|---|
| 0.0–50.0 | Healer lesson | Optional NPC lesson; 300 gold when offered and room under your caps. |
| 50.0–80.0 | Use Spirit Speak in the Academy | Complete an eligible active skill use or supported PvM Arcanism action. |
| 80.0–100.0 | Use Spirit Speak directly | Complete an eligible active skill use or supported PvM Arcanism action. |
Spirit Speak stops at 100.0. Invalid targets and casts that fail before impact do not award the PvM check.
Rules and numbers
Spirit Speak is an Arcanism PvM support skill. It passively increases the direct-damage component and reaches its maximum contribution at 100. The button performs training only: it does not heal, consume mana, channel corpses, restore resources or provide a separate combat effect. It does not affect Bard Template Power, ordinary Magery or PvP. Successful eligible offensive Arcanism impacts and applied Arcane Curse also offer Spirit Speak training, including killing impacts; an arbitrary kill alone does not.
