__TOC__
<section begin=description /><noinclude>'''Minor Shock''' is an</noinclude><includeonly>An</includeonly> elemental [[bolt]] spell that enables the caster to send an electrical charge from the palm of the hand toward a designated target.<section end=description /> Successful attacks will cause the target to sustain [[hitpoint]] damage and possibly [[Lightning critical table|lightning]] based [[critical]] injuries. Although not very powerful, this spell is used extensively by young wizards, because it is an easy spell to learn and cast, and the [[mana]] requirements are low. This spell can also commonly be found in [[Silver wand|silver]] and [[Iron wand|iron]] [[wand]]s dropped as treasure items from creatures or available for purchase from certain shops within each town. It can be imbedded into appropriate items by skilled wizards who have knowledge of the [[Magic Item Creation (420)]] spell. Iron wands containing minor shock can also be created by properly trained [[Alchemy|alchemists]].

* Casting at oneself or [[character]]s from defensive or guarded [[stance]] will cause a crackling halo of static to swirl about the target's head, standing all their hair straight on end

===Stun Shock===
There is a seed 5 [[summation]] of [[Elemental Lore, Air]] skill chance of applying a persistent electrical jolt on the target called Stun Shock. It will last for {{mono|8 + seed 10 ranks of [[Elemental Lore, Water]]}} seconds. Every 4 seconds, Stun Shock will either stun or cause minor electrical damage to the target. Typically, [[critical]]s are ranks 1 or 2. The activation messaging displayed with this effect is: '''''Tiny arcs of lightning briefly dance across a {target}'s skin!'''''

===Damage Factor Bonus===
Training in either [[Elemental Lore, Water]] and/or [[Elemental Lore, Air]] will increase the spell's [[damage factor]]s. The increase is .001 per two ranks for the first 100 ranks and .001 per four ranks for ranks 101 to 200. There is no requirement to train in both lores (as previously thought) to increase the damage factors for this spell. Total lore bonus with 200 ranks (300 skill) is .075.
