Find a Power or Wizardry item, and wear that to increase your max SP. You might get a scepter of Power or Wizardry, for example, equip it before shrining, use the sp to buff, then swap in your weapon.
That is what I did. I got a Scepter of Power IV for 40 more SP. I put it in my hand and use an owl pot for the ability, then when I am charged up, I go into the quest and cast Seek Eternal Rest (5 minute spell) and zap some undead. Then just before shrining I do the same thing. Thanks for the explanation/information... very helpful.

I know there are many more Pally "tools" out there (i.e. Divine Light, Divine Might, etc etc) but I am only lvl 5 now and just trying out this new Paladin toon. I never ran a Pally before so it is a slow learning process, but these forums have been a huge help.
Many thanks to all who commented.
