Add the reservation of every active Skill and support in the current weapon set, then apply only modifiers whose scope matches those Skills. A 30 Spirit Skill and a support that adds 20 Spirit reserve 50 Spirit before Reservation Efficiency. If the resource is Life or Mana, filling the unreserved portion does not normally count as Full because reservation does not lower the actual maximum.
Heralds, Meta Skills, permanent Minions, Companions, and other persistent Skills normally reserve Spirit while active. Their base reservation and supported reservation are combined before matching efficiency modifiers are applied.
Related: Herald of Ice, Skeletal Warrior, Persistent, SpiritPrism Guardian grants Spirit and gives increased Spirit Reservation Efficiency of Buff Skills per 100 maximum Life. The modifier applies only when the reserving Skill satisfies its Buff scope.
Related: Prism Guardian, EfficiencyThe Raven's Flock applies to Skills generally, Bones of Ullr applies only to Skills that create Undead Minions, and The Hollow Mask applies only to Remnant Skills. Their percentages should not be added to unrelated reservations.

Currency: Rune of the Blossom, Greater Rune of Alacrity, Bear IdolInfernalist passives can reserve a percentage of Life for other benefits. Because reservation does not reduce maximum Life, the filled unreserved portion is not Full Life by default.
Related: Low Life, InfernalistBlood Price makes nearby enemies have Life reserved. Widow's Reign converts Life that would be lost from damage into temporary reservation until its release condition is met. Skill Reservation Efficiency does not modify either effect.
Related: Blood Price, Widow's ReignEfficiency reduces a cost or reservation by dividing its base amount. Increased Efficiency has diminishing returns: 50% increased Efficiency divides by 1.5, while 100% increased Efficiency divides by 2. It is not the same calculation as reduced cost or less reservation.

MechanicSpiritSpirit is a reservable resource used to activate and maintain skills with permanent effects, including persistent buffs, permanent minions, and trigger Meta skills.
MechanicBuffA Buff is a beneficial effect applied to a player, Minion, monster, or other target for a duration or while a condition remains true. Buff Magnitude comes from the creator, while Buff Effect usually comes from the affected target.
MechanicPersistentA Persistent skill is toggled in the Skills Panel and remains active until disabled or until its reservation or other requirement can no longer be met. Persistent Buffs, Meta skills, and Reviving Minions often reserve Spirit.
MechanicMinionMinions are summoned Allies with their own offensive and defensive stats. Player modifiers do not apply to them unless the modifier explicitly affects Minions or Allies, and the player does not count as their own Ally.
MechanicCompanionsCompanions are powerful Reviving Minions with a separate global limit. By default, you can have only one Companion summoned at a time, regardless of its type or the number of creatures represented by its skill.
MechanicLow LifeA player or monster is on Low Life while its current Life is 35% of maximum Life or lower. Exactly 35% counts as Low Life. Items can replace that threshold or make another resource determine whether the condition is satisfied.

MechanicOverflowOverflow allows a specified recovery source to raise Life, Mana, Energy Shield, or Runic Ward above its normal maximum. Current Life, Mana, and Energy Shield Overflow is capped at 150% of maximum. The effect does not increase the maximum resource itself.
MechanicHeraldHerald Skills are Persistent Buffs that reserve Spirit and provide a payoff after a qualifying enemy death or condition. Each Herald has its own trigger, damage component, ailment interaction, and scaling requirements.
MechanicBlood MagicBlood Magic removes the character's Mana and converts Skill Mana Costs into Life Costs. It changes which resource pays for Skills, so Life recovery and cost management become part of sustaining every Mana-costing action.
