== Spells ==
Spells are skills [[the Knight]] can activate by either holding FOCUS/CAST ([[Focus]]) or tapping FOCUS/CAST or QUICK CAST while neutral ([[Vengeful Spirit]]/[[Shade Soul]]) or while holding UP ([[Howling Wraiths]]/[[Abyss Shriek]]) or DOWN ([[Desolate Dive]]/[[Descending Dark]]).

All spells use 33 [[SOUL]]. The [[Spell Twister]] [[Charms|Charm]] lowers the cost to 24 for all Spells, except Focus.
