Apprentice Monk

[Monk]

To take the time to

comtemplate on your most

important goal, your highest

priority, is never a waste.

Never confuse your means

to the end you wish to achieve.

You've forgotten the

basics behind performing

Spiritual Bestowment?

How can this be...?

Ah, now I understand.

You've transcended the

limitations that used to

hold you back, and have

become a Champion. I'm

sorry for underestimating you.

Very well. It will be an honor

for me to help you relearn the

Spiritual Bestowment skill. As

a side effect, you will probably relearn Excruciating Palm as well.

Now be still and relax

as I perform my special

accupressure treatment that

will commit these skills to

your nervous system and

motor memory...

*Tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap- tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-

tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap- tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-

tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap* *POKE*

It is done. Please

continue to use these

special skills to promote

peace and harmony in this

world. Farewell, my friend.

Ah, I have a favor to ask.

Please do not tell others that

I have taught you Spiritual

Bestowment. I don't wish to

spend my time teaching too

many people this skill...

Ah. Well done. I see

that you managed to learn

the most important thing,

selflessness, on your own.

Now I trust that you won't

abuse what I have to teach you.

My test may seem too strict,

but it is impossible to learn

Spiritual Bestowment without the right discipline. As with all

things, readiness and preparation precede all forms of realization.

Now just relax for a moment.

I will use accupressure to

train your nervous system to

physically memorize the energy

flow and movements required

for Spiritual Bestowment.

*Tap... tap*

*Tap... Tap*

*Tap tap tap*

*Tap... Tap tap*

It is done. You are now

capable of using Spiritual

Bestowment. Ah, yes. I've never

really named this skill, but that is what it is usually called by

other Monks who have seen it.

Remember that this skill has a

long Cast Time and Skill Delay,

so use it very carefully. This

skill will let you give a Spirit Sphere to one of your Party

Members by consuming 40 SP.

You will better understand

the use of this skill if you

practice. Keep in mind that

fighting may be necessary at

times, but it is a means to an

end, and not an end in itself.

Our skills should not be

used to shed blood. If you

can transcend conflict, you

will know that fighting has

no worth, no value. Peace

be with you, my friend.

Have you learned the

meaning of selflessness?

When you abandon greed

and the desires of the world,

you will be ready for my teaching.

Fighting is meaningless.

Transcend conflict and

difference through the

realization that all are

one. Discipline your mind

and the truth will be revealed.

Hm? To what purpose have

you come to visit me? Ah, so

you wish to learn the skill that I have developed. My colleague

was right: more and more people have been wanting to learn this.

Do not misunderstand me.

It is true that power and

justice, wisdom and action

must be balanced. However,

I have been visited by too many power hungry, bloodthirsty people.

In all fairness, I shall

give you a chance. Prove

to me that you would use

the skills I teach you for

peace and justice. Prove that

you are free from selfishness.
