==Description==
<!-- Short description blurb for transclusion --><section begin=description /><includeonly>Creates a forceful wave of energy that [[prone|knocks down]] and [[staggered|staggers]] multiple targets in the room.</includeonly><section end=description />
'''Elemental Wave''' causes the mana in the area to "pulse" in a physical wave that may result in knocking down characters and creatures in the [[room|immediate area]] who fail a [[standard maneuver roll]]. In addition to being knocked [[prone]], targets which fail to out-maneuver this pulse are "buffeted" by the waves and can suffer [[staggered]] (RT) up to 20 sec, depending upon the severity of their failure. The combination of these two states effectively "pins" its targets down for a period of time, making them vulnerable to follow-up attacks (especially subsequent [[maneuver]] attacks).

*Creatures [[flying|in flight]], [[non-corporeal]], and certain others may be immune to the effects of this magic.
*When subjected to the effects of the spell, the elemental wave blocks subsequent waves by others.

==Lore Benefits==
===[[Elemental Lore, Air]]===
50 ranks of Elemental Lore, Air will turn every cast of Elemental Wave into a spherical wave that can affect [[:Category:Avian Creatures|flying targets]], but will not knock them out of the air.

===[[Elemental Lore, Water]]===
Training in Elemental Lore, Water will cause targets to have a reduced maneuver defense based on a linear formula involving skill bonus. The specifics are unknown, but 90 skill (20 ranks) is enough to overcome the defensive bonus provided by the spell [[Empathic Focus (1109)]] and continued skill increases further improve this bonus without diminishing returns.
