__TOC__
This spell increases the targets strength, effectively increasing their [[attack strength]] using [[melee]] weapons and reducing [[encumbrance]]. Without the benefit of [[Elemental Lore, Earth]], this spell adds +15 to a character's attack strength. It provides an additional bonus to this value based on seed 4 of the [[summation chart]]. For example, four ranks in ''Elemental Lore, Earth'' provide a +16 bonus to attack strength, thirty ranks in ''Elemental Lore, Earth'' provides a +20 bonus, and 184 ranks in ''Elemental Lore, Earth'' adds a +31 bonus to attack strength. The Lore benefit is only seen when the spell is used on the caster, not when cast on others.

* The Strength enhancement will reduce encumbrance.
This spell is widely used by [[War Mage]]s instead of [[Elemental Focus (513)]], which is used by most other [[Wizard]]s as an [[AS]] booster. Some other wizards use both in combination, mainly to harvest the encumbrance reducing benefits of this spell.

This article is about the Major Elemental spell, Strength. For the statistic, see Strength.

Strength provides a base bonus of +15 to melee attack strength by enhancing Strength Bonus (but does not directly enhance the Strength stat.)

  • The Strength enhancement will reduce encumbrance.
  • The Strength enhancement will reduce ranged weapon roundtime.

For each rank of Major Elemental spells known:

  • the duration of the spell is extended by 60 seconds from its base 1200 second duration

This spell is NOT selfcast only and may be cast upon others.

Lore Benefit

Training in Elemental Lore, Earth, provides an additional bonus to the base +15 AS of +1 per seed 4 summation of ranks. The lore benefit is selfcast only. Further, the lore bonus (unlike the base bonus provided by the spell) only provides a bonus to attack strength; it does not provide benefits towards reduced roundtime when using ranged weapons.

Elemental Lore, Earth ranks 0 4 9 15 22 30 39 49 60 72
