Choose an Oath for the problem you have
Running out of health
Compare Second Breath’s threshold heal with Vampire’s damage-linked healing. Bulwark adds defense but reduces offense.
Running out of Energy
Wellspring supplies opening Energy and restores more on kills. Its kill trigger is less reliable in a fight without adds.
Wanting more damage
Read Glass Blade’s maximum-HP penalty alongside its offense. Hunter also trades HP for offensive effects.
Farming or leveling
Lucky Coin targets Gold, while Wandering Scholar targets XP. Neither automatically solves a survival problem.
Where Knowledge comes from
The Wishing Fountain daily rewards are one documented source: the cited guide records Knowledge on days 3, 6 and 7. Published code rewards can also include Knowledge, such as TORMENT. Check the code status before counting those resources.
Inspect the Shrine’s cost and current rank before spending. This reference lists effects; it does not invent an upgrade price or a maximum-rank refund rule.
Questions players ask
Can I use two Oaths at once?
The reviewed guide says one Oath can be active at a time, with the option to switch. Inspect the current Shrine interface for any cost or condition.
What is the best Oath for a Mage?
Wellspring is a direct Energy-oriented option. If you are dying before using your skills, a survival effect may be more useful. This is a recommendation based on listed effects, not a tested universal Mage ranking.
