Editing Spirit Weapon Transfer

= Spirit Transfer =

'''Spirit Transfer''' moves the spirit out of one [[Spirit Weapon]] and into
another weapon, turning the old spirit weapon back into an ordinary weapon. 
The spirit will lose some stats if a [[Restorative Spirit Liqueur]] is not used.

Two variants exist:

* '''Spirit Transfer''': Move the spirit to a '''new weapon of the same type''', this can be performed by Tarlach or Berched.
* '''Spirit Memory Transfer''': Move the spirit's stats into a different spirit, which can therefore be a '''different weapon type''', chosen with the used Spirit Stone, this can be performed by Dorren.

== Common requirements ==

The weapon you transfer ''into'' must:
* Have '''100% proficiency'''.
* Be '''unmodified''', no upgrades.
* Retain '''at least 80%''' of its original maximum durability.

On success the old spirit weapon reverts to a plain weapon (keeping its colors), the
new weapon becomes the spirit weapon (taking on ''its own'' colors).

=== Memory (stat) loss ===

Unless the spirit is '''protected''', a transfer normally lowers the spirit's stat levels. Protection is granted by using a [[Restorative Spirit Liqueur]] on the spirit ''before'' the transfer, a protected transfer loses '''no''' stats or exp on current stat progress, and the protection is consumed and does not carry to the new weapon.

! Variant !! Social level !! Random stat levels lost
|-
| Same-type (Tarlach/Berched) || &minus;2 || 5 points spread across STR/INT/DEX/WILL/LUCK
|-
| Different-type (Dorren) || &minus;3 || 10 points spread across STR/INT/DEX/WILL/LUCK
|}

''Use'' a [[Restorative Spirit Liqueur]] on the spirit before either transfer to avoid '''all''' stat loss. 
This means using it via Ctrl+Clicking the item, or right-click -> Use.
You'll see your weapon is protected as it will say "Protects abilities during Spirit Transfer" when hovering it, below its durability.

== Type 1: Spirit Transfer (same weapon type) ==

Performed by '''Tarlach''' (Tir Chonaill) or '''Berched''' (Taillteann).

=== Unlock ===

The quest '''Spirit Transfer Magic''' is delivered by owl
the moment you log in owning a spirit weapon.

Optional to complete, same-type transfer can be done with Berched in any case, but completion is required for Tarlach to be able to perform transfers, as well as to get the quest to perform different-type transfers.

# Talk to '''Tarlach'''.
# Talk to '''Aeira''' (Dunbarton bookstore).
# Talk to '''Berched''', he'll give you the ''Transfer'' book.
# Bring the book back to '''Tarlach''' and you'll learn the '''Spirit Weapon Transfer''' keyword.

To perform the transfer without doing the quest, talk to Berched with the keyword 
'''Spirit Weapon's Contract''' first to get the '''Spirit Weapon Transfer''' keyword, then use it.
Tarlach requires the quest to be '''completed''' (as he learns the process from Berched through the quest).

=== Materials ===
{| class="wikitable"
! Item !! Qty
|-
| Elemental Remover || 30
|-
| Spirit Liqueur || 1

=== Steps ===
# Speak to Tarlach or Berched and choose the '''Spirit Weapon Transfer''' keyword.
# Confirm, and the NPC will verify your materials.
# Select the '''new weapon''' (only same-type weapons are offered).
# Read the warnings and confirm. If the spirit is protected you'll get a confirmation that no stat loss will happen. ("Your spirit has used the Restorative Spirit Liqueur and is in a protected state.")
# Confirm "Ready" to complete the transfer. Materials are consumed.

== Type 2: Spirit Memory Transfer (different weapon type) ==

Performed by '''Dorren''' (Taillteann). This "experiment" transfers the memory of your current spirit into a new spirit, your contract is canceled, you'll be able to name your new spirit, and choose a different weapon type by choosing a different type of stone.

=== Unlock ===
Complete the quest '''Spirit Memory Transfer Experiment'''.
It is '''received automatically''' after completing the '''Spirit Transfer Magic''' quest described above.
# Talk to '''Dorren'''.
# Talk to '''Berched''', he'll give you the book.
# Bring the book back to '''Dorren'''.

=== Additional effect (different-type only) ===
* The old spirit's '''Awakening skill''' and its associated '''title''' are removed, you can get the new type's skill by relogging.
