Spirit is the [[Monk]]'s [[resource]] in Diablo III. It is generated by using Normal attacks [http://forums.battle.net/thread.html?topicId=27607504970&postId=276049612594&sid=3000#9] and [[combo skills]], and spent by using other skills.
The resource was fully functional in the game as of Blizzcon 2010, and Spirit is often cited by the developers as their favorite of the various [[resources]] and the one they think is working the best.
==Spirit Skills and Traits==
Spirit is can be built up by using the basic [[Attack]] skill, but it's recommended that players use the Monk's combo skillsinstead, since they have no cost to use and do a lot more damage, plus other effects. As seen in the Blizzcon 2010 demo, the combo skills added Spirit at a flat, set rate. For instance, each of the three hits that makes made up [[Hands of Lightning]] added 3 Spirit to the pool, for a Clvl 9 Monk in the Blizzcon demo. The gain per combo use may be modified by other skills, traits, and item bonuses.
Here's a listing of all known [[Monk skills]] combos, all of which are subject to change as development continues.
Only one of the [[Monk Traits]] seen at Blizzcon 2010 listed any effect on Spirit, but the Monk's traits were still clearly a work in progress, so there may be more such options in the final game.
