Major Elemental Wave is quite similar to Elemental Wave (410), except it is now capable of releasing elemental energy into the prone targets. This has the potential to harm or kill those effected by it. It carries with it all the effects of Elemental Wave, such as knocking down and inflicting RT upon those under its effects.

The spell normally carries with it the five attunable elements, fire, ice, air, lightning, and earth, but there are many maneuvers and attacks in the game which are very similar to Major Elemental Wave, but carry with them other elements, such as steam, acid, or plasma.

Note: Creatures in flight, non-corporeal undead, and certain others may be immune to the effects of this magic.

Messaging

Although this spell does not tend to inflict a great number of damage, its power lays in its criticals, which will frequently result in stuns, removal of limbs, or outright death. An example is shown below, while attuned to lightning:

A wave of snapping and crackling ethereal ripples moves outward from you.
A krolvin mercenary is buffeted by the snapping and crackling ethereal waves and is knocked to the ground.
   ... 70 points of damage!
