Notes

• Rejuvenation will heal for and lose exactly 11 Health even if the party member is less than 11 Health below his or her maximum, which can be problematic with small Health degeneration when near maximum Health.
• Rejuvenation has 681 Health, and can be resummoned in 15.75 (15 sec recharge + 0.75 sec cast) seconds after casting (with Ritual Lord). This equates a maximum of 43.2 Health per second, divided among party members who drop below full Health. Ideally, it could support 4 party members at once and always (well, 98% of the time) be active in-battle. If Rejuvenation affects the whole party for its entire duration, it will still heal for 8 Health per second. Combined with Life, that's a 13 Health per second for the entire party or 19 Health per second just for the 4 party members.
