This is mainly a pvp change

The current passive system of spirits isnt good in a game that is designed to be active.

I suggest heavily changing every spirit to have reduced energy, cast time and costs but lasts only a short duration

To also adjust to this, change/buff skills based on destroying spirits for their effects.

• Increase the duration of spirits by 3-4% per rank in Spawning Power (if necessary).

• Basic Outline of Spirits
• Attack Spirits - Such as Bloodsong and Pain are designed to be able to do a decent amount of damage during their life time and have a longer life time with very short recharge, this is to make them key spirits in spells that destroy spirits... in particular bloodsongs life stealing helps the high spirit life cost that is added to the channeling line
• AoE Spirit - Such as Agony and Destruction have higher levels to make up for the fact that they dont actively "attack", but also have low recharge to fuel the channeling line
• Effect Attack Spirits - Such as Soothing and Shadowsong have lower damage, medium recharge, and fairly low survivability since they also have moderately powerful effects tied to them, not to mention that the communing line also has a good amount of defense to boot, which helps to seperate the communing line by being a bit less offensive, but with more utility.
• Healing Spirits - Have the highest levels and fairly low recharge, this is to fuel the increased health sacrifice in the healing skills, not to mention give channeling the option of losing a bit of pressure by using the higher level more survivable spirits to fuel their spells as well
• Protective Spirits - Such as Shelter and Displacement have slower cast times to be interruptable, and have extremely short durations since their effects affect the entire party, which would lead to dangerous "passive defense" webs that would be better prevented, which is why they're made to be fairly weak (but still usable).

• Basic Outline of Spells
• Most spells were changed so that to get their effects a nearby spirit would have to lose health, this is to provide an active cycle of self-destroying spirits, and quick creation of spirits, spirits will feel more like a precast benefit then a slow cast burden, not to mention the spawning power attribute which increases spirits max health will feel a tiny bit more important since getting 6-8 points in spawning power might mean that your spirits last a few more of your spirit damaging spells, the short duration on spirits

• Channeling Was heavily changed. Almost all their spells/abilities hurt their spirits in some way, which should allow ritualists to be able to do fairly high damage but with a level of play that involves spirit managing. Awareness of your spirits' healths and slight spirit planning are crucial, especially with these new lower levels. To be able to provide a consistent dps, the spells that hurt their spirits also will help prevent ritualist spike teams, since it's made to be more difficult for groups with a large amount of Ritualists, and at the very least if a ritualist spike team does occur, the cost of a spike will probably be all the living spirits and quite a bit of reset time. The higher damage spells have a 2 second cast-time to provide time for interrupts and 'pre killing' of necessary spirits to reduce spike potential.
