'''Sacred Plea''' is a supportive self-buff of the [[Paladin]] class that channels holy energy to restore the Paladin's own SP over time, at the cost of weakened healing while it lasts. It gives a healing-oriented Paladin a way to recover the SP that sustained casting drains.

== Overview ==

When cast, Sacred Plea slowly returns a portion of the Paladin's maximum SP across its duration. The trade is that, while the buff is active, the Paladin's own healing output is reduced by half, so it is used in lulls rather than in the middle of heavy healing.

== Mechanics ==

The skill affects only the caster.

'''Effect:''' Over the 15-second duration, the Paladin recovers (10 + 5 × SkillLv)% of their maximum SP, restored gradually in steady ticks rather than all at once:
* Level 1 restores 15% of maximum SP.
* Level 2 restores 20% of maximum SP.
* Level 3 restores 25% of maximum SP.

'''Drawback:''' While Sacred Plea is active, the Paladin's [[Heal]] restores 50% less HP. The penalty ends when the buff does.

== Leveling ==

Higher levels increase the share of maximum SP returned, from 15% at level 1 to 25% at level 3, for a higher SP cost.

== Notes ==

* Sacred Plea is best used between fights or during a quiet moment, since the halved healing makes it costly to channel while the party is taking damage.
* It does not affect SP costs directly; it simply refills SP over time, letting a support Paladin keep casting longer across an extended engagement.
