Dark Catalyst Updated · on 9/30/2003 11:22:12 PM 3169

Dark Catalyst has been updated to take into account the effects of Elemental Lores. More specifically, it does more damage for a particular critical type if you have training in the appropriate Lore skill. The spell functions exactly the same as it did before for players with no lore training.

Note: Lightning criticals are solely effected by Air lore as opposed to Air and Water lore like wizard bolts.

Elemental Lore training does not add extra flares.

>It should.<

No, DC flares are very powerful. Adding additional flares would be overpowering, adding to the damage/critical strength of existing flares is not.

Elemtan Lore helps with both damage and crit.

>Nilven, thank you for responding. Do you care to explain a bit more? Does it always help, is there a random roll? I how does it help with crits? I would love to have my DC be more powerful, but nearly every sorcerer tells me not to train in elemental lore fire or otherwize. They tell me it was tested alot and the effects are not noticable.<

1) It always helps.
2) It ups the critical rank on a diminishing returns basis.

The spell's bonus works off ranks. Benefit starts to be seen from 3 ranks and onwards. Diminishing returns kick in at 10 ranks.

The elemental lore formula for Dark Catalyst doesn't follow any of the lore summation charts. It use a polynomial equation.
