• The most common use of this skill is on a Life Bond monk. Cast Life Bonds on all party members and Balthazar's Spirit on yourself. Whenever anyone in the party is struck for damage from an attack, you will gain energy (helping you maintain the Life Bonds).
• This skill is often a staple for farming builds, such as the solo Necromancer, solo monk, and solo Dervish, as they get hit with attacks a lot, giving lots of energy in return.
• The amount of energy gained when damage is received is always one point.
• You will receive this energy whenever you take damage, even if that damage is zero.

Trivia

• The icon, which depicts a sword in stone, is likely a reference to the King Arthur story.
