Vessel of Salvation Updates 01/11/2018 10:43 AM CST
The following changes have been made to the Vessel of Salvation spell, to hopefully make it more useful in practice.

1) The vessel is now identified as "vessel" instead of a sphere.
1b) As before, it can be addressed by your name as well if there's multiple in the room. Paladinbob can >RUB PALADINBOB VESSEL to target his among many.
2) It has a much longer duration.
3) It will persist in a room even if the Paladin leaves the area, but will still not persist if the Paladin logs out.
4) If used as intended (a non-Paladin, non-caster, uses it to recover vitality) the summoner gets a soul state boost equal in potency and cooldown to tending the wounding. This is on a separate cooldown, so it is possible to get both a SoV boost and a tending boost one after another. The Paladin does not need to be in the room when this happens.
4b) Paladins other than the caster can still use it to full effect, just without giving the summoner a soul boost. The summoner using their own orb still faces a steep penalty toward efficency. It's a sacrifice, not a bank.

This is live in Prime and Plat currently. Let me know what you think.

Quick addition:

5) You cannot have more than one vessel going at a time. Like before, recasting vessel will replace it in the room, but if you leave the room you will not be able to create a new vessel.
