Well, now, let me tell ya ’bout that “Honor the Dead” thing, which comes from that game folks call The Elder Scrolls Online. I ain’t no expert, but I can tell ya a thing or two. This here skill is part of a bigger group of powers that them Templars use—don’t ask me all them fancy names, but one of ’em is called Restoring Light. Sounds all nice, don’t it?
Now, “Honor the Dead” is a healing skill. That means when your buddy, or maybe even you, gets hurt in battle, this little trick can help. You know, back in the old days, folks would offer prayers to the spirits of those who passed, but this here is a bit different. It’s more about keeping the living from fallin’ over into the grave. When you cast “Honor the Dead,” you start to heal them poor souls who are hurt real bad.

Now, the way this works is simple, even if it sounds a little complicated. If your teammate’s health drops below 75%, this skill can restore 18% of its cost every 2 seconds for 6 seconds. And if you’re wonderin’, that means you get some of your magic back while helpin’ ’em out! A good deal, huh? This is useful ’cause you don’t just burn through your resources for nothin’. You get back what you put in, just like how you put a little seed in the dirt and hope for a good crop. Ain’t that a fine way to look at it?
But wait, it gets better! The longer you keep this skill going, the more it heals. As long as you’re usin’ it on someone who’s hurt, it keeps workin’ its magic. If you’re feelin’ generous, or maybe you’re just a good Templar, you’ll keep people alive longer with this skill.
When it comes to cost, it ain’t cheap, I’ll tell ya that. Takes 4590 Magicka to cast, but it’s worth it when you see your comrades stayin’ on their feet. You don’t want nobody droppin’ like flies when you’re out there fightin’ the bad folks, right?
Now, if you got that skill, you might be wonderin’ where exactly you can use it. Well, it ain’t no fancy single-target thing. Nah, this here is a cone. That means, if folks are close enough to you, they’ll get healed. But if they’re too far off, they won’t feel a thing. So, best to stay close to the action. You don’t wanna be too far away from them if you plan on keepin’ ’em alive. Get in close, and that’s where the magic happens.
So, what’s the deal with “Honor the Dead” and all these magics? Well, like any good thing in life, it’s all about how you use it. Some folks might get confused with all these numbers and fancy words, but once you see it workin’, you’ll know it’s somethin’ worth havin’ in your bag of tricks. And remember, it don’t hurt to keep a good healer around. Even when you’re playin’ a Templar, you can still be a savior, bringin’ folks back from the brink, just like how them old-time healers used to do. They didn’t have all this magic stuff, but they sure knew how to make folks feel better.
And there’s somethin’ special ’bout this ability—it ain’t just about dealin’ damage or runnin’ in circles. It’s about helpin’ your team, keepin’ them alive when it matters most. That’s a lesson we can all learn from, no matter where you’re from or what you’re doin’. So, next time you see that health bar droppin’, just remember—”Honor the Dead,” and keep fightin’. You’ll make sure the spirits of the fallen ain’t forgotten, and the living get a second chance.
One last thing: don’t forget, every time you use this, you’re also honorin’ the dead, in a way. You’re takin’ care of those still standin’, so they don’t end up like those who’ve passed on. A little magic, a lotta heart—that’s the key to survivin’ out there, if you ask me.
