Lore Benefit

The AS will increase whether or not the target is successfully hit, and only while casting bolt spells. Casting at another target removes this boost.
Casting non-bolt spells or general area spells (e.g. Elemental Wave (410) or Cone of Elements (518)) will not affect the focusing boost.
