__TOC__
Elemental Focus can be used in either of two ways. Most of the time it is used by wizards and other classes for an increase in their bolt AS. It can also be used as an attack spell to lower the physical AS of a creature by 40.
<section begin=description /><noinclude>'''Elemental Focus'''</noinclude><includeonly>Elemental Focus</includeonly> provides a base bonus of +20 to [[bolt spell]] [[attack strength]].<section end=description />


For each rank of [[MjE|Major Elemental]] spells known:
==Bonus==
* the duration of the spell is extended by 60 seconds from its base 1200 second duration
The bonus given to bolt AS is +20 with an addition +1 given for every 2 major elemental spells known over 513 capped at caster's level.
* the bolt spell AS bonus increases by +1 for every 2 major elemental spells known over 513


'''Bonus bolt AS = +20 + (MjE spells over 13 /2 )'''
The mana cost also increases by +1 mana for every 2 major elemental spells known over 513.


It is [[selfcast]] only, so non-wizards must use a [[magic item]], [[scroll]], or [[Living Spell (208)|thievery]] to obtain its benefits.

It can be imbedded using [[Magic_Item_Creation_(420)|Magic Item Creation]].

The AS bonus is capped at spell ranks equal to the caster's [[level]].

==Lore Benefit==
Training in [[Elemental Lore, Fire]] will cumulatively add +1 AS per seed 4 [[summation]] of ranks on consecutive bolt attacks against the same target, capped at +25 total AS boost. The AS will increase whether or not the target is successfully hit, and only while casting bolt spells. Casting at another target removes this boost.

Casting non-bolt spells or general area spells (e.g. [[Elemental Wave (410)]] or [[Cone of Elements (518)]]) will not affect the focusing boost.
