Words of Wisdom is a Passive Shard in Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night.
Description[]
Words of Wisdom's default function is to reduce the consumption of any effect that requires MP. It affects both Shards and Techniques. The MP reduction is percentage-based rather than a fixed amount, and is in the region of 16-20% at Grade 9. This is particularly useful when paired with MP-hungry continuous Shards, such as Beast Guardian or Heretical Grinder.
Improving the Shard's Rank provides a chance that the MP cost of an action will be negated entirely, which increases as the Rank does. For any effect that is continuous (such as Manipulative Shards and many Directional Shards), Words of Wisdom checks each time the MP meter would deplete and give a chance that it will not; it does not negate an entire use of such a Shard.
Improving the rank of the Shard requires the hearts of the three classes of Demon-type enemy: the first three Ranks need Sinister Hearts from Demons, the next three Demon Hearts from Archdemons, and the last two Fiend Hearts from Demon Lords. The latter means this Shard cannot be fully upgraded until the player has access to Glacial Tomb.

Notes[]
- While Words of Wisdom is equipped as either a Passive or Skill Shard, Miriam's right eye will glow green and leave a light trail behind her as she moves.
Trivia[]
- When fighting Dominique, her eyes glow in an identical way to the Words of Wisdom effect, though this only indicates that she is now at half health.
