There are lots of stories about shaolins who got seriously beaten, withdrew from battle, and returned to the most furious melee fully healed after only few moments. Careful observer would notice such shaolin to sit down in strage position, known as Lotus Blossom. This special sitting position allows shaolins to focus their regeneration abilities to health. In Lotus Blossom trance they don\'t replenish mana or vitality at all, but redirect mana and vitality regeneration to hitpoints. This skill is especially popular among faeries, pixies and generally races with low natural hitpoint regeneration rate, who can draw from their natural regen of mana or move. Note that it is advisable to use this skill only in safe place, as when you are in deep trance, you won\'t wake immediatelly if someone attacks you.
