Major Cold is a ball spell based on the cold element. As with all bolt spells, the Attack Strength for this spell is determined by Dexterity bonus and Spell Aiming bonus. Training in Elemental Lore, Water increases the spell's damage factor and potential splash targets. Potential splash targets are also affected by Multi Opponent Combat.

Spell Usage

• CAST or INCANT this spell to hurl a ball of pure cold at your target.

Lore Benefits

Damage Factor Bonus

Training in Elemental Lore, Water increases the spell's damage factor (DF).

Water Lore Ranks	DF Increase
1 to 50	0.001 per rank
51 to 100	0.001 per two ranks
101 to 200	0.001 per four ranks

The total DF increase with 200 ranks EL, Water lore is 0.100.

Potential Splash Targets

The number of targets hit by a ball spell is determined by the following calculation using Elemental Lore, Water and Multi Opponent Combat (MOC):

• Lore Skill Modifier = (1 + √8 * [Elemental Lore, Water Ranks] - 7) / 2
• First Roll is a random number from 0 to 8
• Second Roll is a random number from 0 to [First Roll + Lore Skill Modifier]
• The number of targets is the smaller number of [First Roll + Lore Skill Modifier] and [Second Roll + MOC Ranks].

(As such, training in Elemental Lore, Water contributes to both of the values from which the smaller number is chosen.)
