Elemental Blade provides the weapon with the equivalent of a +20 enchant and one of 5 types of elemental flares.
When casting the spell at a weapon it must be completely free of any magical enhancements or a holy enhancements. This means that the weapon cannot be made of a magical material or still have previous flares or weighting (crit or damage). If the caster of the spell is attuned to a specific element then the flares of the weapon will be of the caster's nature for the duration of the spell.
Attunement
Using the ATTUNE command, a character can specify an element to which he or she is naturally attuned to. Be forewarned that this is a one-time choice and cannot be changed or reversed once chosen. However, it is possible to toggle the effects of attunement on and off using the ATTUNE ELEMENT and ATTUNE RANDOM commands. If the caster is not attuned to an element, then any time he casts a spell that is based on him being elementally attuned, the element chosen will be completely random for each cast of the spell. If the caster is already attuned, and he his focusing his energy on his element using ATTUNE ELEMENT, he will always get that same element each cast of a spell that depends on elemental attunement.
Element Identification
Once the spell has been successfully cast upon a weapon, the e-bladed weapon will be surrounded by a scintillating (white, brown, red, blue or silver) light. Use the LOOK verb to see this. E.g., LOOK my dagger <The dagger is surrounded by a scintillating red light>. Each color is symbolic of one the five attuneable elements.
Each element has an inherent damage type that can, when unleashed, cause critical injuries associated with that damage type. Casting spell Elemental Detection (405) at the weapon will give a message specifying the damage type. E.g., <You sense that the dagger has a magical enhancement of its ability to hit, and will deliver intermittent blasts of fire.>
Element Damage Types
- 1. Air (White): Vacuum critical damage
- Ex. Chest decompresses violently and explodes in a shower of bone and lung!
- 2. Earth (Brown): Impact/Vibration critical damage
- Ex. Every bone in the left arm shattered and scattered about!
- 3. Fire (Red): Fire critical damage
- Ex. Fire completely surrounds [target]. Blood boils and heart stops.
- 4. Water (Blue): Cold/Ice critical damage
- Ex. Head freezes solid and the [target] topples over, shattering skull on impact.
- 5. Lightning (Silver): Lightning/Electric Shock critical damage
- Ex. Hideously bright electrical bolt sends left leg into another universe. Happy traveling.
Of special interest to archers, they made get their arrows or bolts elementally bladed, and in combination of a +20 bow will have the equivalent of an 8x (+40) weapon.
Wizards and sorcerers well versed in Alchemy can produce some glowing prismatic oil, a potion containing the spell Elemental Blade (411). They must have achieved at least rank 30 in Potions.
