[edit] Notes

• This skill is the base for all 55 monk builds.
• Spirit Bond and Protective Spirit stack to great effect. If a target with 600 health has both Spirit Bond and Protective Spirit on him and takes 100 damage, the damage will be reduced to 60 and he will receive the healing from Spirit Bond.
• A common misunderstanding with this skill is that it's effect prevents the player's HP to drop below 10% with a single hit (With 500, HP cannot drop below 50).
• A more specific description of this spell would be: While enchanted, target cannot lose more than 10% max health from one packet of damage.

[edit] Trivia

• When casting this spell, the image that appears over the head of the caster resembles the Hindu god Shiva.
