Online:Mender's Bond

Tether yourself to an ally, manifesting a life link between you and them.

Mender's Bond is a Scribed skill Grimoire on the Restoration Staff skill line. It can be purchased after earning the Restoration Staff Master achievement from Chronicler Firandil in the Scholarium once per character. It costs 0005000050,000 the first time, and 0001000010,000 for other characters on your account after that. Prior to Update 44, this grimoire was unique in that it was the only one whose name does not change based on your choice of Focus Script. It was always just "Mender's Bond".

Mender's Bond creates a tether between you and a target. The target of Mender's Bond can be any ally, whether another player, a companion, or many friendly NPCs. (The only exception to this seems to be that the Mitigation Focus script can target other players or companions, but not other NPCs.) Depending on your choice of scripts, either allies or enemies (possibly both) standing between you and the target, "in the link" as the descriptions say, will be affected in some way.
