This is a Town NPC. A House may be required in order for it to appear.

The Spiritualist is an NPC vendor that will spawn once the following conditions have been met:

• There is an empty house.
• The Buried Champion has been defeated.

When threatened by enemies, he will defend himself with spiritual wisps.

Guardian Angel

The Spiritualist can provide protection by paying him 5 Purified Shards. Once paid, the Guardian Angel buff is granted for 5 minutes, giving the player one chance to avoid fatal damage during that time. Upon dying the Guardian's Exhaustion debuff is applied, making the player unable to receive the Spiritualist's gift for 10 minutes.

If the player dies and revives again, they are given a random boost for 10 seconds alongside the debuff, out of three options:

Buff		Effect
	Guardian - Revenge	All damage is increased by 15%.
	Guardian - Protection	Damage reduction is increased by 30%.
	Guardian - Recovery	Life regeneration is greatly increased.

Quotes

Interaction quotes

"Ah, it's been a while friend. It is good to see you are well after so long!" "Not all who wander are lost, remember this friend..." "Energy, chi, spirit... it's all the same to me. There is power in all things." "I have no doubt of your physical power, hero. But sometimes hardship is fought in a battle of will, not strength." When Angler is present: "<Name of Angler> often comes to me in private to discuss things that are bothering him. Such a young age to be in his position..." When Witch Doctor is present: "<Name of Witch Doctor> and I spent all of last night discussing philosophy. That one has a wise head on his shoulders." During a Blood Moon: "Beware my friend... true evil walks among us this night." If the player has The Lost Cross in their inventory: "Is- Is that my cross? How in the world did you manage to find it? It's been lost for so long..." When the player clicks Guardian Angel: If player has 5 Purified Shards: "With these shards, I have imbued you with an incredibly potent shield. Should you take fatal damage, you shall receive my protection for as long as I can hold it. Stay safe out there, my friend." If player does not have enough Purified Shards: "I require no money to watch over you my friend, but my protection is limited without some Purified Shards. Once you acquire some, come visit me again." Attempting to receive protection while the buff has not expired: "No need to fear my friend, my power is already protecting you. Come back when my power has faded." Attempting to receive protection while the player has the Guardian's Exhaustion debuff: "I'm afraid I can't currently protect you. The residual energy from my power is still interfering with my attempts to empower you."

Trivia
