Elemental Blade (commonly referred to as "eblade") provides a plain weapon or runestaff with a +20 bonus to enchantment and one of 5 types of elemental flares. Weapons and staves must be completely free of any other mechanical effects including flares or weighting (crit or damage). However, Elemental Blade may be cast on master-fletched arrows (which have an innate +5 bonus above the material's bonus), and invar-based items.
Duration:
Charges will be depleted on both attacks and successful parries.
Training in an Elemental Lore specific to a desired flare will allow a caster to eblade enchanted weapons. Furthermore, attuned casters receive the benefits of the flares always matching the caster's attunement (as opposed to receiving a random element with random attunement), and, when properly trained in the corresponding Elemental Lore of that attunement, the flare damage imposed receiving a minor boost to critical weighting.
Archers may get their 0x arrows or bolts ebladed and, in combination with a 4x (+20) bow, will have the equivalent of an 8x (+40) weapon. If the naturally 0x wood is master crafted, the total enchant will be 9x (+45).
Element Identification
An ebladed 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 cause associated critical injuries. Casting 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 Color Critical Damage type Air White Vacuum Earth Brown Impact/Vibration Fire Red Fire Water Blue Cold/Ice Lightning Silver Lightning/Electric
Lore Benefit
Training in any Elemental Lore (only the caster's highest trained lore is considered) allows Elemental Blade to be cast on enchanted weapons, with otherwise the same restrictions. The threshold of an enchanted weapon that can be ebladed is based on a seed 3 summation per +1 of the enchant.
- If the caster is randomly attuned, the cast will only work if the cast's random element matches with an element that the caster has adequate training for.
- If the caster is attuned to an element they are not appropriately trained for, the caster will have to attune random and depend on trial and error to get the right element.
- If the caster is attuned to an element they are appropriately trained for, the caster will always get the flares desired and the weapon will receive a minor boost to the critical weighting from the flares.
For example, if a caster is fire attuned, but has highest training in air lore, they will need to ATTUNE RANDOM, and the weapon will only accept lightning or air flares.
For casters attuned to lightning, it will use their Elemental Lore, Air or Water (which ever is higher) to calculate their respective lore ranks to determine the enchant bonus for which the spell may be used.
Appropriate Elemental Lore ranks 3 7 12 18 25 33 42 52 63 75 Enchant that can be ebladed +1 +2 +3 +4 +5 +6 +7 +8 +9 +10 Appropriate Elemental Lore ranks 88 102 117 133 150 168 187 207 228 250 Enchant that can be ebladed +11 +12 +13 +14 +15 +16 +17 +18 +19 +20
