Elemental Saturation causes a target to incur a -25 penalty to elemental target defense (TD). It has automatic success unless the target is more than 10 levels above the attacker. Ascension creature targets and grizzled creature targets can go up to level 20 higher, but there's a 10% chance of failure for each level past 10. Subsequent attempts against the same Ascension target increases the odds of success by 20% for each attempt.

Elemental Saturation is an autosuccess spell and will automatically succeed when cast on a target no more than 10 levels above you. Against a bounty boss or ascension creature, it can succeed up to 20 levels above you, with a 10% failure chance per level difference over 10. Failing due to the failure chance will grant a stacking 20% decrease to the failure chance.
