__NOTOC__
<section begin=description />When casting Moonbeam, a [[ranger]] chooses to stop a target's movement for up to sixty seconds (SMRv2) or injure it with [[Cold_critical_table|cold]] nature damage with a beam of light (bolt).<section end=description />
;As a [[SMRv2|Maneuver]]
When {{boldmono|[[CAST]]}}, the ranger calls down a pale beam of light to encase their target in a lucent beam, binding the target’s movements for up to 60 seconds based on success.  [[Ranger Base|Ranger]] spell ranks are the primary success factor for this version of the spell.

;As a [[Bolt]]
When {{boldmono|[[EVOKE]]d}}, the ranger may also focus the beam into [[bolt]] spell attack, chilling the target with cold Nature damage. 

Upon a successful hit, the bolt has a chance to flare with an [[SMRv2]] roll (same factors as the standard {{boldmono|CAST}} version) to [[Immobilized (status)|immobilize]] the target for up to 6 seconds. If the target is [[disoriented]] by [[Sun Burst]], the flare chance is increased by 50%. 

On a successful flare, another instance of immobilization will automatically be applied 6 seconds later for a flat 4-second duration. Training in [[Spiritual Lore, Blessings]] will apply bonus immobilization cycles.

== Lore Benefits == 
===[[Spiritual Lore, Summoning]]===
Summoning lore ranks factor into the [[Immobilized (status)|immobilization]] flare chance of the [[bolt]] version as follows: 

{{Equation box
|1 = ''[[SMRv2]] immobilize flare % chance'' = '''30 + (Summoning ranks / 2) +/- ([[level]] differential)^2'''}}

Summoning also increase the bolt version's [[damage factor]] (DF) according to the table below:
:{| {{prettytable}}
|- style= "text-align:center; background: #DDD;"
|'''Summoning<br>Lore Ranks'''||'''<center>Damage Factor<br>Increase</center>'''
|-
|<center>1 to 50</center>||0.001 per rank
|-
|<center>51 to 100</center>||0.001 per two ranks
|-
|<center>101 to 200</center>||0.001 per four ranks
|}
The total DF increase with 200 ranks SL, Summoning lore is 0.100.

===[[Spiritual Lore, Blessings]]===
For the [[bolt]] version of Moonbeam, training in Blessings will cause the 4-second immobilization effect from a successful [[Sun Burst]] disorient interaction to recur every 6 seconds at a rate of 1 bonus cycle per 30 ranks.
