__TOC__
<section begin=description /><noinclude>'''Major [[Acid critical table|Acid]]''' will send</noinclude><includeonly>Sends</includeonly> a bubbling ball of acid shooting from the palm of the caster or the tip of a wand. The ball of acid will explode on impact. If the cast successfully hits the target, the target will experience damage from the initial hit as well as elemental critical damage as a result of the explosion. The explosion may splash on up to 8 additional targets.<section end=description />

The [[Attack Strength]] for this spell is primarily a function of the caster's [[Spell Aiming]] skill and [[Dexterity]] bonus, although other spells, such as [[Elemental Focus (513)]] and [[Elemental Targeting (425)]], can add significantly to its effectiveness. Successful attacks will cause the target to sustain [[hitpoint]] damage and possibly [[Acid critical table|acid]] based [[critical]] [[Injury|injuries]].

*[[Multi Opponent Combat]] can increase the ability of the acid ball to hit multiple targets in the room but is not required.

*This spell is native to the [[Wizard Base|Wizard circle]], and may be cast by wizards with 30 ranks of [[Elemental Lore, Water]] using <tt>[[EVOKE]] [[904]]</tt>.

*This spell can commonly be found in [[crystal wand]]s.
