Upon casting '''Aura of the Arkati''', the Paladin is bathed in a radiant aura of divine influence, causing nearby creatures to cringe in fear. Those not involved in a cooperative effort with the Paladin must attempt to [[warding|ward]] the presence or rebuke in awe.

<section begin=description />This spell causes 10% generic [[Defensive Strength]] (DS) decrease calculated from the target's current stance. In addition, affected targets will suffer a 5% penalty to their [[Evade]], [[Block]], and [[Parry]] chances (E/B/P).

Aura of the Arkati may be cast at a single target or [[open cast]] against a group for a flat 5 mana. <section end=description />
__NOTOC__
==Usage==

Single target (closed cast):
*{{boldmono|[[PREPARE]] 1614, [[CAST]] {target} }}
*{{boldmono|[[INCANT]] 1614 CLOSED}}

[[Open cast]] version that affects multiple targets:
*{{boldmono|PREPARE 1614, CAST}}
*{{boldmono|INCANT 1614 OPEN}}

{{boldmono|INCANT 1614}} by itself will select the closed/open version based on {{boldmono|INCANT SET}}.

==Multi-Target Spell==
{{#section:Multi-target spell|target}}

==Lore Benefits==

[[Spiritual Lore, Religion]] increases the DS reduction by 1% per [[summation chart|seed 4 summation]], capped at 5%. (Total DS reduction is 11% at 4 ranks to a maximum of 15% at 30 ranks).

Spiritual Lore, Religion also increases the penalty to Evade, Block, and Parry by 1% per seed 4 summation. This benefit is not capped.

==Glorious Momentum==
Paladins level 40 or higher that have at least 75 ranks in a single weapon skill gain a 20% chance to receive the Boon [[Glorious Momentum]] for 30 seconds, if the AoE version of this spell affects 3 or more targets.

Glorious Momentum is consumed by the next [[Shield Trample]], [[Shield Throw]], or [[Weapon Technique]]: Area of Effect (AOE) attack. This attack gains +25 Attack Strength, +15 SMR Strength, costs no stamina, ignores current cooldowns and incurs no additional cooldown.

==Tactical Considerations==

The E/B/P penalty is constant. The DS penalty is calculated at the time the spell is cast and locks in for the full duration of the spell, so against creatures who can change stances, this spell will have the greatest effect if cast while the target is in a defensive stance.
