How it works

Spirit Walk loosens your spirit from your body. Wake it, and the dried ghast on top is spent while the rest of the pattern stays. You drift as a ghost in Spectator mode, free to pass through walls and scout ahead. Spirit Walk begins — 24s within 24 blocks.

When the time runs out, your spirit snaps back to where you began, and your usual game mode returns. Your spirit settles back into flesh.

Tier	1	2	3	4	5	6	7
Time	8s	16s	24s	32s	40s	48s	60s
Leash	8	16	24	32	40	48	64

Good to know

• Stray beyond the leash and the walk ends at once. You stray too far — the Spirit Walk snaps.
• Breaking the pattern ends the walk. Place a fresh dried ghast to walk again.
• A Teleport Ward cannot keep your spirit from returning.
• If you log out mid-walk, you return to your body when you join again.

Configuration

These are the defaults in plugins/Runic/runes/spiritwalk.yml. Every rune file also carries the shared settings described in Rune files.
