__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 [[Attack strength|AS]]. It can also be used as an attack spell to lower the physical [[Attack strength|AS]] of a [[creature]] (or [[Character|adventurer]]) 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:
It is usually not used by [[War Mage]]s due to its negative effect on physical [[Attack strength|AS]].
* the duration of the spell is extended by 60 seconds from its base 1200 second duration
* the bolt spell AS bonus increases by +1 for every 2 major elemental spells known over 513


The mana cost also increases by +1 mana for every 2 major elemental spells known over 513.
==Bonus==
The bonus given to bolt [[Attack strength|AS]] is +20 with an addition +1 given for every 2 major elemental spells known over 513. [[MjE|Major elemental]] ranks beyond a character's [[level]] do not contribute to this bonus.


It is [[selfcast]] only, so non-wizards must use a [[magic item]], [[scroll]], or [[Living Spell (208)|thievery]] to obtain its benefits.
'''Bonus bolt AS = +20 + (MjE spells over 13 /2 )'''

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]].
<div {{prettydiv|margin-right=500px}}><center>{{boldmono|Total bolt AS bonus <nowiki>=</nowiki> +20 + ((Major Elemental Spell Ranks - 13) &divide; 2 )}}</center></div>
The AS bonus at level 100 is 63.

==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.

For each rank of Major Elemental spells known:

  • the duration of the spell is extended by 60 seconds from its base 1200 second duration
  • the bolt spell AS bonus increases by +1 for every 2 major elemental spells known over 513

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 thievery to obtain its benefits.

It can be imbedded using Magic Item Creation.

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

Total bolt AS bonus = +20 + ((Major Elemental Spell Ranks - 13) ÷ 2 )
