TheWoWDBHow Spiritual Innervation works:
- A buff is gained from receiving any kind of healing while in the Spirit Realm, including periodic healing.
- The buff lasts 30 sec, and can be refreshed by receiving additional healing in the Spirit Realm.
- This buff does not have any stacks. Instead, the amount of benefit you gain is shown in the tooltip, which makes it difficult to see while in combat.
- DPS and tanks gain [spell=117549], which grants bonus haste, critical strike chance, mastery, and overall damage.
- Healers gain [spell=117543], which restores mana every second. The amount of mana restored varies depending on the amount of healing received.
- The potency of the Spiritual Innervation is increased as the player receives more healing, including any overhealing.
- However, benefit of the buff is not directly proportional with respect to the amount of healing received. There are diminishing returns as player receives more and more healing.
- For DPS, the maximum benefit of [spell=117549] appears to be 25%, but reaching this limit would require a lot of healing. A more reasonable target for healers to aim for is around 20%.
- On the other hand, if there aren't any adds to kill, it is probably more worthwhile to just leave the Spirit Realm immediately than to keep increasing the buff.
- Large instant cast heals (such as Lay on Hands) are awesome for ramping up the buff up quickly on players.

Abilities & Strategy
Spirit Totem

Cross Over
Players use Spirit Totems to cross over into the spirit world. Players exist in the spirit world for 30 sec before returning to the real world and gain the ability Return Soul.
Return Soul
Return Soul causes the player to return their soul to their body in the real world.
The Spirit World
Players crossing over to the Spirit World must return to the real world within 30 sec or die.
Frail Soul
Returning to the real world from the Spirit World inflicts players with a Frail Soul for 30 sec. Attempting to cross into the Spirit World with a Frail Soul kills the player.
Spiritual Innervation
Healing a player in the Spirit World energizes their soul with Spiritual Innervation. The effect of Spiritual Innervation varies depending on the class and specialization of the healed player, and the effect grows as the player continues to receive heals.
Revitalized Spirit
When a player in the Spirit World is healed to full, their spirit is revitalized. Players with Revitalized Spirit gain the Return Soul ability.
Return Soul
Return Soul causes the player to return their soul to their body in the real world.
Shadowy Minion
Shadowy Minions only exist in the Spirit World, but damage players in the real world with Spiritual Grasp.
Spiritual Grasp
A Shadowy Minion reaches into the real world with a Spritual Grasp, inflicting Shadow damage on a random player in the real world.
Shadow Bolt
A Shadowy Minion fires a bolt at a random player in the Spirit World, inflicting Shadow damage.
Voodoo Dolls
Gara'jal the Spiritbinder fixates on his current target, turning that player and 2 other players into Voodoo Dolls. The Voodoo Doll effect persists until either the victim perishes or Gara'jal the Spiritbinder banishes his fixated target to the Spirit World. Players turned into Voodoo Dolls cannot enter the Spirit World. In 25 player raids, Gara'jal chooses 3 other players from the raid to turn into Voodoo Dolls.
Banishment
Gara'jal the Spiritbinder banishes his current target to the Spirit World. While in the Spirit World, a Severer of Souls assaults the victim. In Normal Difficulty the Severer of Souls is only visible to the banished victim. In Heroic Difficulty, three Severers of Souls attack. One of these Severers of Souls is only visible to the banished victim. The other two are visible to the raid.
Severer of Souls
Severers of Souls attempt to tear apart the soul of Banished victims.
Soul Sever
If players do not defeat every Severer of Souls within 30 sec, the Banished victim dies.
Shadowy Attacks
Gara'jal will periodically use the following attacks instead of his normal melee attacks: - Sweeping Kick - Hammer Fist - Right Cross - Left Hook These attacks inflict Shadow damage to the target and bypass any absorption effects.
Frenzy
Gara'jal the Spiritbinder also stops summoning Spirit Totems.
Final Destination
