Meditation is a Paladin Skill in Diablo II.
Lore
With the observance of this aura, the Paladin supplicates himself to the Light with silent utterances of prayers. It is in these times of silent worship that the Paladin is rejuvenated in spirit.
General Information
Meditation greatly increases Mana regeneration. Even at level 1, it gives 75% (the same effect as a Mana Recharge shrine), and can greatly extend the amount of time a caster can spend casting spells before needing to stop and use a mana potion. Even Paladins who are not dedicated to supporting party members can use this intermittently to ease mana upkeep, but this is especially powerful in the hands of a healing paladin, due to the fact that it also gives the same effect as the Paladin's Prayer aura at no mana cost.
Meditation stacks with all other sources of Mana regeneration, including items, Warmth, and Mana Recharge Shrines.
Meditation choice is popular with other party members such as Sorceress and Necromancer. It also comes helpful if Paladin himself relies on Mana-consuming attacks from the Combat Skills list.
Insight Runeword grants a level 12-17 Meditation aura to its wielder, making it a popular hireling weapon choice for Mana-hungry builds.
