===Sorcerer Base Bonus===
===CS bonus per spell circle===


:{| {{prettytable}} align="center"
Due to their spiritual/elemental hybrid nature, [[Sorcerer Base]] spells only receive half the normal bonus. The sorcerer base bonus is +12.5 with an additional +0.5 bonus for every two MnE ranks above 25. Any fractions from spell effect gains will be rounded up when the [[Sorcerer Base]] CS is calculated for a spell. The CS bonus is effectively capped at +24.5 (25) with 73 MnE spell ranks, assuming there will be no other fractional CS gains from spell effects.

===Spiritual Base Spells===

Spiritual base spells do not receive a CS bonus from Elemental Targeting. These spell circles include, [[Minor Spiritual]], [[Major Spiritual]], [[Cleric Base]], [[Empath Base]] and [[Paladin Base]].

==Lore Benefit==

Training in [[Elemental Lore, Fire]] provides a chance to cause the next spell cast to be charged with elemental energy based on a seed 10 [[summation]] of ranks. If a spell is cast within 30 seconds of gaining this charge, and the spell's damage type matches the caster's elemental [[attunement]], the spell will gain a rank of [[critical weighting]] over its original power. The caster must be attuned to something to gain the ability, and only the casters attuned spell attacks will benefit from it. Attuning to random will still use the casters attuned element, so a caster will still get a flare if they're not currently focusing on their element of choice.

Elemental Targeting provides a base bonus of +25 to both physical and bolt AS, and a +25 CS base bonus to elemental base spells which include (Minor Elemental, Major Elemental, Wizard and Bard Base). There is an additional bonus of +1 for every two ranks above 25. The total bonus is capped at +50 with 75 MnE ranks.

Overtraining past a character's level in the MnE circle will not increase the bonus.

Note: Although the Bard Base circle is considered a mental/elemental hybrid, bard spells currently receive the full bonus.

This spell is selfcast only.

Bonus Calculation

AS & Elemental CS Bonus = 25 + trunc[(MnE ranks - 25) ÷ 2]

For example, with 52 MnE spell ranks the bonus is: 25 + trunc[(52 - 25) ÷ 2] = 38 bonus AS / 38 bonus elemental CS.

Minor Elemental Spell Ranks 25 27 29 31 33 35 37 39 41 43 45 47 49 51 53 55 57 59 61 63 65 67 69 71 73 75
Total AS bonus 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50

CS bonus per spell circle

Minor Elemental (400) Full bonus
Major Elemental (500) Full bonus
Wizard base (900) Full bonus
Bard base (1000) Full bonus
Sorcerer base (700) Half of the bonus, rounded up
Arcane (1700) Depends on the 'native circle' of the specific arcane spell
All other circles No effect

Hybrid example (sorcerer base), with 54 MnE spell ranks:

(25 + trunc[(54 - 25) ÷ 2]) ÷ 2 = 19.5

Note: Assuming there are no other fractional CS gains from spell effects when the CS is calculated, this will effectively be a +20 bonus.

Lore Benefit

Training in Elemental Lore, Fire provides a chance to cause the next spell cast to be charged with elemental energy based on a seed 10 summation of ranks. If a spell is cast within 30 seconds of gaining this charge, and the spell's damage type matches the caster's elemental attunement, the spell will gain a rank of critical weighting over its original power. The caster must be attuned to something to gain the ability, and only the casters attuned spell attacks will benefit from it. Attuning to random will still use the casters attuned element, so a caster will still get a flare if they're not currently focusing on their element of choice.

  • This bonus can activate on bolts, CS spells, and elemental weapon/armor flares.
  • The effect applies to one hit of a spell/spell like ability, so if the caster gets the bonus and casts Cone of Elements (518), only the first hit will be impacted.
  • The effect can be triggered off of any portion of a spell or spell/like ability, so it is possible (though improbable) a consecutive cast of Cone will have nothing but hits with weighting.
  • The critical weighting is applied before critical randomization, so it can be reduced by critical randomization.
Elemental Lore, Fire ranks 10 21 33 46 60 75 91 108 126 145 165 186 208 231
Chance for attuned critical weighting on next spell/attack 1% 2% 3% 4% 5% 6% 7% 8% 9% 10% 11% 12% 13% 14%
