Blessings (Spells)

**Blessings** are Collectibles that can be obtained from Spirits or Spell Shops. Blessings is a generic term that includes **Spells**, **Potions**, and **Scrolls**. These are all *single-use* items (unlike Expressions and Cosmetics). Most produce a temporary effect (the permanent Resize Potion is a notable exception).

## Obtaining Blessings

Typically, Blessings are obtained from Spirits, who provide a fixed number of randomly determined Spells or Potions. The Friendship Trees for Regular Spirits always contain a  1 Candle Blessing and a  5 Candle Blessing. These Blessings never reset, so in total only 74 (37 1-Candle and 37 5-Candle) Blessings are available from Regular Spirits. Seasonal Spirits also sell Blessings (exactly how many depends upon the Spirit), but only during their Season or when they return as a Traveling Spirit.

The Forgotten Ark provides another way to obtain standard Spells and Potions, where you can purchase bundles of specific (non-random) Blessings for various in-game currencies, all of which reset. To unlock the three permanent shops within the area, you must first fully restore the Ark by completing all of the Season of Enchantment Quests.

Similarly, the Spell Shop in Aviary Village also provides another way to obtain the same Blessings available at the Forgotten Ark. To first unlock the Message Boat Spells, you must complete the second Quest from the Season of Revival. To expand the shop's stock further, you must then complete the eighth Quest from the Season of Revival.

Finally, many Special Events have introduced Spells, many of which provide free trials of some of the cosmetics offered by the event.

## Blessings Menu

    All the Blessings currently available to you are within the Expression Menu, listed in the third tab (the Blessing  icon). The number next to the icons indicates the quantity of each Spell, Potion, or Scroll in your inventory. All Blessings are single-use items.

When you select a Blessing, a confirmation popup menu appears with the Blessing's name and a brief description. Many Blessings will also affect your nearby friends: this always includes any friend whose hand you are holding or piggybacking, but can also sometimes include other friends who are standing very close to you.

Various Blessings temporarily give you a cosmetic item (e.g. a Prop, Cape, etc.). These Blessings will replace what you were previously wearing. If you have an existing placed Prop (e.g., a chat table), a Prop Spell will appear to have no effect until you put away the placed Prop. At that point the Spell Prop will appear on your back and the icon in the Expression Menu will switch to match the Spell item.

For any temporary duration Blessing, an icon is added in the lower left corner of the screen and at the top of the Blessing Menu. The remaining duration of the Blessing can be seen here. Clicking on the icon allows you to cancel the Spell immediately if you wish.

## Blessings from Ancestor Spirits

### 1-Candle Blessings

One of five different Spells will be randomly granted to a player when purchasing a  1 Candle Blessing from a Spirit's Friendship Tree: the Glow Spell, the Anti-Gravity Spell, the Fast Recharge Spell, the Fireworks Spell and the Shrink Spell.

### 5-Candle Blessings

When purchasing a  5 Candle Blessing, the player will be granted one of nine different options (seven Spells and two Potions). Five of these are the same Spells possible with a 1 Candle Blessing: the Glow Spell, the Anti-Gravity Spell, the Fast Recharge Spell, the Fireworks Spell and the Shrink Spell.

Two additional Spells and two additional Potions are also possible: the Chat Table Spell, the Bonfire Spell, the Instant Recharge Potion, and the Resize Potion.

### Glow Spell

*"Glow for the next 10 mins."*

The Glow Spell is quite helpful in dark places like the Golden Wasteland. Upon usage, the Blessing will illuminate both a player's character and the area around them for **10 minutes**. This Spell is a 1  Blessing .

### Anti-Gravity Spell

*"Decrease your group's gravity for the next 5 mins."*

An Anti-Gravity Spell decreases the effect of gravity on your character but does not remove it completely. The Blessing simply causes you to fall downwards slightly slower for **5 minutes**. Thus, this Spell is especially handy during solo exploration or simply for reaching places which may normally be inaccessible. Furthermore, Anti-Gravity Spells are also useful for group sessions, as they will carry over to every other player in your party. This Spell is a 1  Blessing .

### Fast Recharge Spell

*"Increase your group's cape recover speed for the next 10 mins."*

The Fast Recharge Spell causes your character to regain Cape Energy slightly faster than normal. However, you will not lose less energy during flight. The effect lasts for **10 minutes**. Like the Anti-Gravity Spell, the Fast-Recharge Spell also carries over to the rest of your group. It will only be in effect when you are near a light source and will not recharge you continuously. This Spell is a 1  Blessing .

### Fireworks Spell

*"Shoot off fireworks."*

A Fireworks Spell is a limited imitation of the Firework Staff (obtainable from the  Saluting Captain). The Spell that is part of the 1 Candle Blessing only allows you to fire off ten fireworks total (two bursts of five with a cooldown in between).

There is a second fireworks Spell that uses the exact same icon, but is a Prop Spell. The Prop version is only available during Days of Fortune. As with all Prop Spells, it allows you and your friends to equip the Fireworks Staff for 30 minutes, during which time you can use it the same way as the purchased staff.  This Spell is a 1  Blessing .

### Chat Table Spell

*"Place a table to chat with other players."*

A Chat Table Spell is an imitation of the Chat Table Prop (obtainable through the Meditating Monastic Spirit in the Vault of Knowledge). The table, which seats four players, allows you to chat with friends and strangers, similar to the Chat Benches which litter the Realms. It can also be a useful tool when accessing Out of Bounds areas. This Spell is a 5  Blessing .

When using a Chat Table Spell, tap the chair icon that appears to place a table in the direction your camera is facing, or press and hold the icon and drag the table to your desired location. You can continue to place and move your table until you tap elsewhere on the screen or move to a new area, or until you are inactive for more than two minutes. The table you place will disappear once you exit the game or move to another area.

### Bonfire Spell

*"Place a bonfire to chat with other players."*

The Bonfire Spell temporarily allows you to place the Bonfire Prop, which originally appeared as the Ultimate Gift for the Season of Belonging. Like the Chat Table Spell, the Bonfire Spell, which seats four players, may be used as a way to communicate with friends and strangers in the same area. The Bonfire also recharges Cape Energy when the fire is lit.

When using a Bonfire Spell, tap the fire icon that appears to place a table in the direction your camera is facing, or press and hold the icon and drag the Bonfire to your desired location. You can continue to place and move your Bonfire until you tap elsewhere on the screen or move to a new area, or until you are inactive for more than two minutes. The Bonfire you place will disappear once you exit the game or move to another area. This Spell is a 5  Blessing .

### Instant Recharge Potion

*"Instantly recharge your energy."*

The Instant Recharge Potion, as the name implies, instantly grants the user a full gauge of Cape Energy. This can be useful in places such as Golden Wasteland, where you may have lost your Light completely and do not wish to return Home, or when you simply want to fly more than your Cape Energy would otherwise allow. This Spell is a 5  Blessing .

### Resize Potion

*"Permanently resize your self."*

The Resize Potion **randomly**and **permanently** changes the height of a player's character. This Spell is a 5  Blessing .

Resize Potions, which allow players to customize their characters by changing their heights, are the only way to change height permanently. To get another height, the player must use a Resize Potion. The spell has a 50/50 chance of making your character either shorter or taller (if you are not already at or very near the max/min height limit). However, as the Potion is always random, there is no guarantee that it will be the one desired. In fact, there are 4000 possible heights over the height spectrum. The Potion's effects last indefinitely – until another Resize Potion is used.

For technical reasons, the height achievable using a Resize Potion can be anything between -2.000 and +2.000, and height will always change by at least ±0.5 units. The Chibi size, which is smaller than -2.000, is a unique size that can only be achieved using the  Chibi Mask or Shrink Spells, so it's not possible to become Chibi-sized with Resize Potions. (Tiny Spells can also be used to be smaller than -2.000 temporarily, but these do not mimic the effects of the Chibi Mask like the Shrink Spell does.) However, having a short enough height (nearing Chibi size) will give players the same running animation as a Chibi-sized player (with arms flung backwards). Likewise, the Huge Size, which is larger than +2.000, is a unique size that can only be achieved with the Huge Spells.

If you'd like to measure your own size, you can find an online guide here.

### Message Boat Spell

*"Send off a friendly message boat. (Replaces any already placed in the area)"*

The Message Boat Spell is used to leave messages on water in the shape of a paper boat. Once placed, they remain for a total of two days (48 hours) before disappearing. Just like messages left at Message Candle Spots, messages left using Message Boats can be opened, liked, hidden, and reported. This Spell was first introduced during the Days of Summer Lights event in 2020.

Players that gain 50 "likes" or more on a Message Boat will earn a Heart at the Friendship Constellation Statue at Aviary Village.

Regular Message Boats

### Message Crane Spell

*"Send off a friendly message crane. (Replaces any already placed in the area)"*

Just like the Message Boat Spell, the Message Crane Spell is used to leave messages on water in the shape of a paper crane that can be opened, liked, hidden, and reported. Once placed, they remain for a total of two days (48 hours) before disappearing. Regular Message Boats were made to look like Cranes during Days of Love 2022, before the Message Crane Spell was introduced. This Spell is a 5  Blessing .

Players that gain 50 "likes" or more on a Message Crane will earn a Heart at the Friendship Constellation Statue at Aviary Village.

Message Cranes

### Message Lantern Spell

*"Send off a friendly message lantern. (Replaces any already placed in the area)"*

Just like the Message Boat Spell, and the Message Crane Spell, the Message Lantern Spell is used to leave messages on water in the shape of a water lantern that can be opened, liked, hidden, and reported. Once placed, they remain for a total of two days (48 hours) before disappearing. Regular Message Boats were made to look like Lanterns during Days of Fortune 2021, before the Message Lantern Spell was introduced. This Spell is a 5  Blessing .

Players that gain 50 "likes" or more on a Message Lantern will earn a Heart at the Friendship Constellation Statue at Aviary Village.

A Message Lantern

### Shared Memory Spell

*"Record a memory to share with others."*

The Shared Memory Spell is used to record an avatar's movement for a brief period of time. Then, once the recording is finished, a special crystal appears in the world representing this memory, and remains for a total of 6 days (144 hours) before disappearing. Friends and other players who find it can tap on it to replay this visual message.

A recording can be as simple as waving hello to leave a greeting for a friend who’s offline, or be an excerpt of a favorite tune played to encourage fellow travelers, or perhaps something else entirely different. Players can use this Spell to capture new moments of delight and imagination.

Please note that specific Emotes used by the player recording may sound different from normal while viewing the Shared Memory.

### Shared Space Spell

*"Create a space to share with others."*

Shared Space Spells are a type of Spell that allow players to build a Shared Space almost anywhere in Sky. Once a space is ready, a special lantern appears in the world representing this space, and remains for a total of 4 days (96 hours) before disappearing.

### Pinwheel Spell

*"Place a colorful pinwheel that spins in the breeze."*

The Pinwheel Spell can be used to place a small Pinwheel Prop in an area. The windier the spot you place it, the faster the Pinwheel will spin! The Pinwheel Spell, introduced for Children's Day in 2021, preceded the permanent Pinwheel Prop offered by the Sparkler Parent Spirit.

When using a Pinwheel Spell, tap the pinwheel icon that appears to place a Pinwheel in the direction your camera is facing, or press and hold the icon and drag the Pinwheel to your desired location. You can continue to place and move your Pinwheel until you tap elsewhere on the screen or move to a new area, or until you are inactive for more than two minutes. The Pinwheel you place will disappear once you exit the game or move to another area.

### Swing Spell

*"Make you and your friends carry this item for the next 30 mins."*

The Swing Spell, introduced during Days of Love 2020, allows you to carry and place a Swing set. Like the Chat Table Spell and the Bonfire Spell, the Swing Spell allows players to communicate with others, though the seating is limited to two players at a time. When sitting on the Swing with another player, small hearts will begin to appear after a short while, growing in intensity over time.

Because the Swing Spell is a Prop Spell, it will replace anything you are carrying on your back with the Swing Prop for the Spell's duration. While the Spell is active, the Swing can be placed using the Prop's icon in the Expression Menu. If you place a Swing, it will remain until you leave the area or use another prop or Prop Spell, even if the Spell has ended.

### Seesaw Spell

*"Make you and your friends carry this item for the next 30 mins."*

The Seesaw Spell, originally introduced during Days of Love 2021, allows you to carry and place a Seesaw. Like the Swing Spell, it seats two players and allows them to talk. When two people are sitting on the Seesaw, it will move up and down.

Like the Swing Spell, the Seesaw Spell is a Prop Spell, which means that it will replace anything you are carrying on your back with the Seesaw Prop for the Spell's duration. While the Spell is active, the Seesaw can be placed using the Prop's icon in the Expression Menu. If you place a Seesaw, it will remain until you leave the area or use another prop or Prop Spell, even if the Spell has ended.

### Gondola Spell

*"Make you and your friends carry this item for the next 30 mins."*

The Gondola Spell, originally introduced with the 0.16.0 Patch for Days of Love 2022, allows you to carry and place a small Gondola boat in the water. Like the Swing and Seesaw Spells, it seats two players and allows them to talk. The Gondola will move around so long as at least one player is sitting in it, and it will move faster with two players.

Like the Swing and Seesaw Spells, the Gondola Spell is a Prop Spell, which means that it will replace anything you are carrying on your back with the Gondola Prop for the Spell's duration. While the Spell is active, the Gondola can be placed using the Prop's icon in the Expression Menu. If you place a Gondola, it will remain until you leave the area or use another prop or Prop Spell, even if the Spell has ended.

### Rainbow Spell

*"Place a magic rainbow in the world."*

The Rainbow Spell was introduced during Days of Rainbow in 2020, where players would find Rainbows scattered in the Realms over a few days. These can be used to place down a rainbow in any location, giving players a beautiful view.

When using a Rainbow Spell, tap the rainbow icon that appears to place a Rainbow in the direction your camera is facing, or press and hold the icon and drag the Rainbow to your desired location. You can continue to place and move your Rainbow until you tap elsewhere on the screen or move to a new area, or until you are inactive for more than two minutes. The Rainbow you place will disappear once you exit the game or move to another area. If you place the Rainbow so that it is horizontal, you will be able to stand on it.

### Lantern Spell

*"Make you and your friends carry this item for the next 30 mins."*

The Lantern Spell summons a handheld lantern which can light up dark places. This is basically a limited-use version of the Lantern Prop introduced during the Days of Summer Lights event.

Like the Swing Spell, the Lantern Spell is a Prop Spell, which means that it will replace anything you are carrying on your back with the Lantern for the Spell's duration. Unlike the Swing, however, the Lantern is carried in your hands. While the Spell is active, you can pull out and put away your Lantern using the icon in the Expression Menu. While your Lantern is out, you can switch lighting modes using the lantern icon on the screen.

### Shrink Spell

*"Shrink into a baby for the next 20 mins."*

The Shrink Spell is a limited imitation of the  Chibi mask (obtainable from the  Hide'n'Seek Pioneer). Using a Shrink Spell allows the player to become Chibi-sized for a total of **20 minutes**: your body shrinks to make you both tinier and more baby-like in appearance. This is the only way to wear other Masks while Chibi-sized. The Shrink Spell will have no effect if you are already wearing the Chibi Mask.

Shrink Spells are one of the two "Height Alteration" Spells available from the Potion Shop (along with the Grow Spell), and they are called Height Alteration Spells when you receive them from Spirits. Shrink Spells are easily confused with Tiny Spells, where Tiny Spells do not change your body proportions. This Spell is a 1  Blessing .

### Grow Spell

*"Grow into an adult for the next 20 mins."*

The Grow Spell allows players to become a little bit taller than the maximum height achievable with a Resize Potion. However, the effects wear off after 20 minutes.

The Grow Spell and the Shrink Spell are the two Height Alteration Spells in the Spell Shops.

### Tiny Spell

*"Makes you tiny for the next 20 mins."*

The Tiny Spell scales your character smaller in size (it does not change your proportion like the Shrink Spell or  Chibi Mask) and can allow players to become even smaller than Chibis for 20 minutes. If combined with the Chibi Mask, this makes one truly tiny.

The Tiny Spell is called a Size Alteration Spell in the Spell Shops.

### Huge Spell

*"Makes you huge for the next 20 mins."*

The Huge Spell in turn scales your character larger, and can allow you to be even taller than the maximum height achievable with Resize Potions for 20 minutes. Thus, one could become as tall as an Ancestor Spirit.

Like the Tiny Spell, the Huge Spell is called a Size Alteration Spell in the Spell Shops.

### Do Not Disturb Spell

*"Warn friends before they teleport to you, and other players will see a Do Not Disturb icon above your head."*

A Do Not Disturb Spell was introduced to the game on April 13, 2023 with Patch 0.21.0. One Spell per week is available for free and after that, a set number of single Spells or a Spell “bundle” each month can be obtained from the Spell Shop in exchange for regular Candles.

When the Spell is active, if a friend tries to teleport to a player through the Friendship Constellations, a dialog box will appear to let them know that the player has used this Spell and would prefer to play alone. The friend can then choose whether or not to continue teleporting to the player. When standing near a player using the Do Not Disturb spell, the Spell's icon appears above their head.

### Skyball Set Spell

*"Place a Skyball set to play with your friends."*

The Skyball Set Spell is temporary version of the permanent Skyball Set found in the Village of Dreams and was introduced during the Days of Feast event in 2022. Players using this Spell can place a game of Skyball anywhere to play with friends or strangers alike.

### Dark Dragon Repellent Spell

*"Repel Dark Dragon for the next 1 mins."*

Originally introduced during Days of Mischief 2021, the Dark Dragon Repellent Spell prevents Dark Dragons from knocking away your Winged Light for one minute. Outside of Days of Mischief, Dark Dragon Repellent Spells may be obtained at random through some Special Event NPCs or through Spell nodes in the Spirit Trees of current Seasonal Spirits.

### Ball Spell

*"Kick it around and have a good time!"*

The Ball Spell, initially introduced during Days of Summer 2021, allows you to place a large ball, which moves whenever you or another player run into it. Be careful, as the Ball can be easily kicked out of bounds. Unlike the other Spells in this section, this Spell is not generally available outside of Special Events, and it can only be obtained through Spell Shops. However, it has been made available throughout different Events, and the Ball's appearance changes depending on the time of year.

### Trail Spells

*"Gives you colorful flying trails for the next ... mins."*

Originally introduced during Days of Color 2021, these Trail Spells replace your usual white flying trails with different colored trails. Outside of Days of Color, Trail Spells may be obtained at random through some Special Event NPCs or through Spell nodes in the Spirit Trees of current Seasonal Spirits.

There are 16 different Trail Spells, including the Rainbow Trail Spell and PlayStation® Exclusive Trail Spells. The green, orange, dark blue, yellow, red, and purple Trail Spells have a 60-minute (1-hour) duration. The pink, magenta, teal, cyan, and black Trail Spells have a 120-minute (2-hour) duration. The Rainbow Trail Spell is the only Trail Spell that lasts for 180 minutes (3 hours).

## Special Event Spells

Special Event Blessings/Spells can be acquired when Special Events are held. Generally, these Spells are limited-time versions of cosmetics that are available to buy for real money through the Premium Candle Shop or for in-game Currencies from Special Event NPCs. Most of these Spells last for 30 minutes and can be shared with the friends that you hold hands with. Visit their respective "Days of ... " page to get more information.

## Spells Acquired Via Bugs

### Relationship Spell

During March 2021, a **Relationship Spell** appeared at the Sleepy Traveler's boat giving their beholder the ability to warp to a friend for 5 minutes regardless of their friendship status. This Spell was initially released for testing out NFC STAR Pins on Beta but got released by mistake on Live. This Spell was only available for a couple of days and is no longer offered, but those who had the opportunity to get it still have them on their inventory.

### Umbrella Spell

*"Make you and your friends carry this item for the next 30 mins."*

The Umbrella Spell, initially made available with Patch 0.16.0, temporarily allowed you to carry and use the Umbrella Prop offered by the Laidback Pioneer Traveling Spirit. The Spell could only be obtained at random through some Special Event NPCs or through Spell nodes in the Spirit Trees of current Seasonal Spirits.

Like the Lantern Spell, the Umbrella Spell was a Prop Spell, which means that it was replacing anything you were carrying on your back with the umbrella for the Spell's duration. While the Spell was active, you could pull out and put away your umbrella using the icon in the Expression Menu. This Spell was only available for a couple of days and is no longer offered, but those who had the opportunity to get it still have them on their inventory.
