Bestiary entry

"The Spiritualist believes in the power of inner tranquility. Terrarians interested in healing their allies could learn much from him."

The Spiritualist is an NPC vendor that will spawn once the following conditions have been met:

• There is an empty house.
• Buried Champion has been defeated.

When threatened by enemies, he will defend himself with healing stars.

Guardian Angel

The Spiritualist can provide protection by paying him 5 Purified Shards. Once paid, the Guardian Angel buff is granted for 5 minutes, giving the player one chance to avoid fatal damage during that time, being brought back to 5% of their maximum life instead. Upon dying the Revival Exhaustion debuff is applied, making the player unable to receive the Spiritualist's gift for 5 minutes.

If the player dies and revives again, they will receive 5 seconds of immunity frames and are given a random boost for 10 seconds alongside the debuff, out of three options:

Buff		Effect
	Guardian - Revenge	All damage is increased by 15%.
	Guardian - Protection	Damage reduction is increased by 30%.
	Guardian - Recovery	Life regeneration is greatly increased.

Quotes

Interaction quotes

"Ah, it's been a while friend. It is good to see you are well after so long!" "Not all who wander are lost, remember this friend..." "Energy, chi, spirit... it's all the same to me. There is power in all things." "I have no doubt of your physical power, hero. But sometimes hardship is fought in a battle of will, not strength." When Angler is present: "<Name of Angler> often comes to me in private to discuss things that are bothering him. Such a young age to be in his position..." When Witch Doctor is present: "<Name of Witch Doctor> and I spent all of last night discussing philosophy. That one has a wise head on his shoulders." During a Blood Moon: "Beware my friend... true evil walks among us this night." If the player has The Lost Cross in their inventory: "Is- Is that my cross? How in the world did you manage to find it? It's been lost for so long..." When the player clicks Guardian Angel: If player has 5 Purified Shards: "With these shards, I have imbued you with an incredibly potent shield. Should you take fatal damage, you shall receive my protection for as long as I can hold it. Stay safe out there, my friend." If player does not have enough Purified Shards: "I require no money to watch over you my friend, but my protection is limited without some Purified Shards. Once you acquire some, come visit me again." Attempting to receive protection while the buff has not expired: "No need to fear my friend, my power is already protecting you. Come back when my power has faded." Attempting to receive protection while the player has the Guardian's Exhaustion debuff: "I'm afraid I can't currently protect you, friend. Give your soul some time to heal, and then come speak to me again." When the player has the Reality Bearer buff: "From the moment we first spoke I sensed something special within you. Your spirit exudes an incredible energy, one that I'm honored to have witnessed. Stay golden my friend."

I think they need more space." "The others are feeling quite overcrowded. We all need our space to grow as people." When in The Hallow: "Ah, now this is a place ripe with spiritual energy." When in the Caverns: "The deeper into the earth I go, the more I feel that dark energy from below... I don't like this feeling." When in an Evil biome or the Dungeon: "What has happened to the spirits here...?! How repugnant!" When near the Stylist: "<name of Stylist> gives me the most wonderful haircuts. She really helps with my self expression!" When near the Witch Doctor: "<name of Witch Doctor> and I spent all of last night discussing philosophy. That one has a wise head on his shoulders." When near the Princess: "<name of Princess>'s cheerful innocence brightens up everyone's spirits."
