== Damage Factor (DF) Benefit ==
Due to its offensive nature, Elemental Lore: Fire (EL:F) will be substituted for any other Elemental Lore when calculating the lore bonus to [[Damage Factor]] (DF) for an elemental bolt. i.e. Elemental Lore: Earth normally increases the DF of Hurl Boulder (510), but '''if you have more ranks in Elemental Lore: Fire, those ranks will be used instead'''. Hybrid bolts that already use EL:F are not affected since they will always just use your EL:F and the other lore type. Hybrid bolts that don't use EL:F can have it replace the lore with the ranks they have the least in amount of ranks trained.[http://forums.play.net/forums/19/330/3381/view/750]
