| Binding Ritual A ritual that creates a Spirit to help in battle. |
| Chant A skill that grants all allies within earshot a one-time boost, typically to the next attack, signet, or spell. This skill is used by Paragon characters only. There are 6 types of Chant:
|
| Dual Attack The last attack in a Dagger Attack sequence; must follow an Off-Hand Attack. |
| Echo This skill grants the targeted ally a benefit and interacts with Chants and Shouts. This skill is used by Paragon characters only. There are 3 types of Echos:

| Enchantment A spell that causes a temporary state of protection or enhancement (e.g., speed, increased armor, increased energy). It is a positive effect that benefits a character over time. |
| Form This skill temporarily transforms the user into an avatar of one of the gods, or an animal. These skills disable themselves after 2 minutes of use. When the form ends, all actions are cancelled. |
| Glyph A skill that enhances the next spell you cast. Glyphs affect only spells, and you can have only one glyph in effect at any given time. |
