'''Patron's Blessing''' bestows a refined combat knowledge upon the paladin, increasing effective [[Combat Maneuvers]] ranks for purposes of the [[CMAN|Combat Maneuver List]] (CML) and [[Attack Strength]] (AS). <section begin=description />The caster's effective Combat Maneuvers rank is increased by +10, with an additional +0.75 for every [[Paladin Base|Paladin spell]] rank beyond 11, capped at level. The Combat Maneuvers bonus granted by this spell also helps with [[aim]]ing weapons.<section end=description />

This spell also increases the paladin's defense against [[standard maneuver roll]] attacks (both original maneuvers and SMRv2). The bonus ranks in Combat Maneuvers granted by this spell are also taken into account by the old SMR. This benefit is paladin only.

The total Combat Maneuver offensive bonus received between Patron's Blessing and the Paladin's actual Combat Maneuvers training cannot surpass what the paladin would receive were they to be fully trained (twice per level) in Combat Maneuvers. The Attack Strength bonus and SMR defense, however, is uncapped (in relation to the Combat Maneuvers bonus, but the Attack Strength and SMR defense bonus is also still restricted by the spell ranks formula noted above, which is capped at level).

If the paladin uses any [[enhancive item]]s that increase Combat Maneuvers skill, the benefit of the spell is still limited to full (2x) skill training. If the paladin's actual training plus enhancives already exceeds 2x then the spell will not increase effective CML ranks. Any additional bonus would only contribute to Attack Strength.

==Lore Benefits==

Training in [[Spiritual Lore, Blessings]] provides an additional bonus of +1 Combat Maneuver rank at 3 Blessings Lore ranks, to a maximum of +17 Combat Maneuver ranks at 187 Blessings Lore ranks, on a [[summation chart|seed 3 summation]].

'''Patron's Blessing''' bestows a refined combat knowledge upon the paladin, increasing effective [[Combat Maneuvers]] ranks for purposes of the [[CMAN|Combat Maneuver List]] (CML) and [[Attack Strength]] (AS). <section begin=description />The caster's effective Combat Maneuvers rank is increased by +10, with an additional +0.75 for every [[Paladin Base|Paladin spell]] rank beyond 11, capped at level.

With the increase in effective Combat Maneuver ranks, there is also an increase in [[mana]] cost. The mana cost is 11.

This spell also increases the paladin's defense against [[standard maneuver roll]] attacks (both original maneuvers and SMRv2). The bonus ranks in Combat Maneuvers granted by this spell are also taken into account by the old SMR. This benefit is paladin only.

The total Combat Maneuver offensive bonus received between Patron's Blessing and the Paladin's actual Combat Maneuvers training cannot surpass what the paladin would receive were they to be fully trained (twice per level) in Combat Maneuvers.

Elemental Focus (513)

2024-12-31T15:44:58Z

SEPTER2: /* Mana Cost */ Removed mana cost stuff

{{spell
| mnemonic = ELEMFOCUS
| base_dur = 1200 sec
| add_dur = +60 sec per [[MjE]] rank
| span = [[Self-cast]]: [[Stackable]]
| type = Offensive
| subtype = Bolt [[Attack strength|AS]]
| weapon = None
| enhancement = +20 Bolt [[Attack Strength|AS]]
| availability = All
| navigation = {{Major elemental navigation|type=Offensive}}
}}
__TOC__
<section begin=description /><noinclude>'''Elemental Focus'''</noinclude><includeonly>Elemental Focus</includeonly> provides a base bonus of +20 to [[bolt spell]] [[attack strength]].<section end=description />

For each rank of [[MjE|Major Elemental]] spells known:
* the duration of the spell is extended by 60 seconds from its base 1200 second duration
* the bolt spell AS bonus increases by +1 for every 2 major elemental spells known over 513

The mana cost also increases by +1 mana for every 2 major elemental spells known over 513.

It is [[selfcast]] only, so non-wizards must use a [[magic item]], [[scroll]], or [[Living Spell (208)|thievery]] to obtain its benefits.

It can be imbedded using [[Magic_Item_Creation_(420)|Magic Item Creation]].

The AS bonus is capped at spell ranks equal to the caster's [[level]].
<div {{prettydiv|margin-right=500px}}><center>{{boldmono|Total bolt AS bonus <nowiki>=</nowiki> +20 + ((Major Elemental Spell Ranks - 13) ÷ 2 )}}</center></div>
The AS bonus at level 100 is 63.

==Lore Benefit==
Training in [[Elemental Lore, Fire]] will cumulatively add +1 AS per seed 4 [[summation]] of ranks on consecutive bolt attacks against the same target, capped at +25 total AS boost. 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.

Major Elemental

2024-12-31T14:12:10Z

SEPTER2: /* Enhancements by Rank */ updated for new spell durations

{{Major elemental header}}

The '''Major Elemental''' [[spell circle]] is purely [[elemental]] in nature, and is designed for [[wizard]]s to complement offensive, defensive, and utility capabilities of the [[Wizard Base]] circle.

While it is technically not designed to be limited to a single profession (a distinction shared with the other Major and Minor spell circles), Major Elemental is currently only accessible by [[Wizard]]s.

== Enhancements by Rank ==

All [[stackable]] and [[refreshable]] enhancement spells last for 2 hours unless otherwise specified.

''For lore enhancements, see [[lore chart#Major Elemental|Lore Chart]].''

;[[Thurfel's Ward (503)]]
:+1 [[DS]] per 4 ranks above 3.

;[[Elemental Deflection (507)]]
:+1 DS per 2 ranks greater than 7.

;[[Elemental Focus (513)]]
:+1 Bolt [[Attack strength|AS]] per 2 ranks above 13.

;[[Mana Leech (516)]]
:The maximum amount of mana which can be leeched in a single cast is equivalent to the number of ranks known.

;[[Charge Item (517)]]
:Adds to a wizard's capability to charge successfully.

;[[Mage Armor (520)]]
:Increases padding amount every 15 ranks to a max of heavy padding at 95 ranks

;[[Elemental Disjunction (530)]]
:Increases minimum number of spells dispelled.

;[[Haste (535)]]
:Reduces roundtimes by 1% for every five ranks (limited by the maximum total reduction of 60%).
