Place into a Skill's Support Gem socket in the Skills Panel to apply its effects to that Skill. You cannot have multiple Support Gems of the same Category socketed within one Skill.
Reservation effects prevent a portion of a given resource — usually Spirit, though it can also be Life or Mana — from being used for other purposes while active. Reserving a resource does not change the maximum value of that resource.
Spirit is a reserve of power used to activate and maintain skills with permanent effects. Spirit-powered skills are managed within the Skills Panel. Weapon Sets can have differing amounts of available Spirit, due to weapons with Spirit (such as Sceptres), Weapon Set Passive Skills, or Persistent Skills that are active in specific Weapon Sets.
Minions are summoned Allies which will accompany and fight alongside you. Persistent Minions will reserve a portion of Spirit while active.
The Red Communion was meant to transcend the limits of the soul, to transfigure the flesh, to bestow immortality. It accomplished all of these things... most horribly.
