Item spell
From Guild Wars Wiki
Item spells are a type of spell unique to the Ritualist profession.
When a character uses an Item Spell, that character creates and holds a bundle item (an urn of ashes) temporarily. While the item is being held, that character will gain the benefit of that item created. Many items created through this method also have an effect when dropped. There is generally no delay before this effect, however Anguished Was Lingwah has a 1 second delay and Lively Was Naomei has a 3 second delay.
Like any bulky item (i.e. a Flag, Gear, or Keg), items created through Item Spells can be dropped by pressing the "Drop Item" button. Item Spells, however, do not cause the player to suffer from a movement penalty.
While holding the item, the character loses any benefits from their weapon sets and cannot attack with weapons. Depending on the item spell, it can mask energy from energy denial. Item spells cannot be removed by others unless the user dies or causes them to drop.

[edit] Item removal
Much like weapon spells, a huge benefit of an item spell is that once applied, it cannot be removed like an enchantment can be. The only ways it can be taken off is by:
- Switching to another weapon sets while holding of these items will cause that item to be dropped.
- Casting another item spell will cause item to be dropped.
- Picking up any other bundles while holding one will cause the item to be dropped.
- If a user shadow steps while holding an item, the user will automatically drop the item before shadow stepping.
- If a player under the effects of an item spell dies, that Item will be dropped.
- The item spell's duration has expired.
[edit] Identification
The general nature of an urn's effects can be determined from its appearance. Red, rectangular urns have offensive effects. Orange, mushroom-shaped urns have defensive or supportive effects. Silver, ovoid urns are only created by Lively Was Naomei, and resurrect their creator and her nearby allies when they are dropped.
[edit] Notes
- Most item spells will not drop when the duration specified ends. Instead, the item held will disappear. Items that are lost in this manner will not yield any benefits as though it were actually dropped.
- If a player is running when an item spell reaches the end of its duration, the player's weapon will appear in the urn's place and the player will run carrying the weapon in the same fashion as they were the urn until movement ends.
- A player may still be under the effects of a Weapon Spell while holding an item, even though that person is not technically wielding a weapon.
