What Spiritual Focus does in Classic Era

Forever changed this talent. The Classic Era wording is kept here rank for rank so the two can be read side by side. It has 5 ranks in Classic Era rather than 2.

  1. Rank 1 Gives your Flash of Light and Holy Light spells a 14% chance to not lose casting time when you take damage.
  2. Rank 2 Gives your Flash of Light and Holy Light spells a 28% chance to not lose casting time when you take damage.
