Skill Type. Weapon spells provide a persistent buff on an ally. They represent enchanting the target's weapon to provide additional benefits.

It is visible on the target by changing the model of any weapon equipped. It has its own indicator on the creature's health bar ().

[edit] Characteristics

Always target an ally, (except Weapon of Aggression which is only self-targeting).
Always have normal range.
Have .75 second aftercast delay like normal spells.
Always have a duration.
May have an end effect.
Always require energy to activate.
Always have an activation time and Recharge time.

[edit] Notes

Does not actually require a weapon to be equipped.
Weapon Spells' duration is increased by 4% for every point in Spawning Power.
A target can only have one Weapon Spell active on them at a time and casting a Weapon Spell on a character already affected by Weapon Spell will overwrite the previous one.
Spirits, however, cannot be the target of Weapon Spells.
Ghost Forge Insignia provides a benefit to the user if under a Weapon Spell.

[edit] Trivia

Are unique to the Ritualist profession, with the exception of the PvE-only skill Great Dwarf Weapon.
They cannot be removed and will last their full duration unless the target dies, has another weapon spell cast on them, or the spell completes its condition (such as taking damage while Vengeful Weapon is on).
They do not actually replace or change the stats on the player's actual weapon.
