Preparation, effect duration and cooldown are separate timers. The cooldown starts when preparation completes successfully. You can move during shared recovery, but cannot prepare another spell.

Target and range

Self only.

What does it do?

Preparation creates three protective layers. Each direct hit consumes one layer and reduces incoming damage by 40%, up to that layer's absorption cap. At full strength, 40% of a 30-damage hit would be 12, but the layer absorbs only 8, so you take 22. Three full-strength layers can absorb at most 24 damage in total.

Spirit Speak 0 → 100

The absorption cap per layer is 4 → 8 health at 0 → 100 Spirit Speak.

Counterplay

Even a small direct hit consumes a layer. Unused layers disappear after 10 seconds.

Limits

Poison, bleeding, Lich Form health costs and Blood Oath transfers do not consume layers, and the shell does not reduce them. An active shell cannot be refreshed by recasting.
