Ward of Ash

The granted Ward is min(25% of the target's maximum HP, Magic power × Ward coefficient). The highest Ward wins; it expires after two caster turns. Wards can be cast again while the action and equipped essence costs can be paid; repeated casts do not stack beyond the normal ward rule.

Restore Magic power × Healing coefficient, capped at the target's current maximum HP. Restoration has no shared cooldown; every repeat cast pays its normal action and equipped essence costs.

Sense all 5 numbered fragments with an equipped Tindle at Divination 20 in Hollow Ruins, Southwood. Collect the complete set in your bag and use a fragment to restore the scroll. Use the restored scroll at Magic 35 to learn it permanently. Fragments and scrolls can be traded; Divination is a discovery requirement, not a learning requirement. Repeat casting is allowed while suitable hands, a valid target, action budget and enough essence equipped in Ammo are available. Spells have no casting cooldown. An equipped staff reduces positive base essence costs to max(1, floor(base × 0.75)); off-hand free-hand costs are applied afterwards. Concentrated arcane essence is an alternative equipped fuel; it adds 5% direct spell damage, with no automatic fallback or mixing.
