Well, Spirits Without and Bloodstain are interesting: while it would make sense if they are the weaker, unsworn version of Spirits Within, as they are used by GLA enemies, we have Jenlyns, who is, if I remember correctly, the captain of the Sultansworn. I get it, the charge time and AoE effect on them is to make the fight easier, but they also have weaker potency, and in Bloodstain's case, no DoT. Why doesn't Jenlyns' version at least have the usual name and the usual potency/effect?
Sadly, I don't remember if Solkzagyl used them in the last PLD quest. Probably if he used Spirits Without and Bloodstain it would mean they are just for NPCs, since Solkzagyl is surely more experienced.
You got me, I misremembered CoS as a Paladin skill. It's Hallowed Ground that's the 50 ability.
This is what I was curious about regarding lore and mechanics - sometimes they mesh? Sometimes they don't. Jenlyns uses skills that also feature a charge-up time, but we defeat him as an untrained paladin. Is this manifested in the Warrior of Light? Are we overthinking game mechanics?
We don't have answers, which to a roleplayer also means we don't necessarily need them. If you can learn a technique, you can teach it. It might lose some fidelity being passed down, but it also might not. The idea exists firmly nestled in the reasonable grey areas.
