Elemental Lore, Water

Since mid-2015 there has been a considerable amount of development with Hot Summer Nights 2015, the Elemental Lore Review, and the Teleportation review.

Pages with this banner have been affected by development and are in various stages of update progress, but not yet complete.

Minor Elemental

• Lock Pick Enhancement (403)

Training in Water Lore will remove 1 point per seed 10 summation level of potential damage to a lockpick on a failed picking attempt. The potential damage to a lockpick can completely removed, but any previous damage will not be fixed by Water Lore. The bonus will apply when cast on others.

• Disarm Enhancement (404)

Provide phantom ranks (at a seed 1 rate) when determining if you failed badly enough to set off the trap.

Training in Water Lore will corrode a lock on unsuccessful casts. Each corrosion of the lock will subtract from the lock's difficulty based on a seed 1 of the Summation Chart up to a total reduction of 10% of the lock difficulty. The effect lasts 60 seconds and is refreshed on successive casts, while the corrosion is cumulative upon each cast (up to 10%).

• Disarm (408)

Training in Water Lore will corrode a trap on unsuccessful casts. Each corrosion of the trap will subtract from the trap's difficulty based on a seed 1 of the Summation Chart up to a total reduction of 10% of the trap difficulty.

Training in Water Lore will provide a chance of Skill/4 to show Unlock and Disarm success messaging (the messaging for Disarm to work will only be displayed if the caster has discovered the trap).

• Mana Focus (418)

Training in Water Lore will apply a +10 mana regeneration bonus to the caster only on successful attempts. The duration of the effect is a set number of pulses based on a seed 10 summation. This effect does not require the caster to remain in the noded room.

20 ranks of Water Lore is a prerequisite for use with Cone of Elements (518).

Water Lore further increases the chance to "soak" a target from a base 20% with no ranks up to 100% with 60 ranks. Soaking adds greatly to the chance to activate Stun Shock, which is a persistent electrical jolt causing either stun or light damage, caused by Minor and Major Shock.

Elemental Lore, Water ranks	0	1	6	8	13	18	24	30	40	60
Chance for soaking	20%	22%	30%	40%	50%	60%	70%	80%	90%	100%

Training in Water Lore increases the damage factor by .001 per rank up to 50 ranks, .001 per two ranks for ranks 51 to 100 and .001 per four ranks for ranks above 100.

In addition, Water Lore determines the potential maximum number of opponents hit by the splash (See ball spells).

Potential Splash Targets

The number of targets hit by a ball spell is determined by the following calculation using Elemental Lore, Water and Multi Opponent Combat (MOC):

• Lore Skill Modifier = (1 + √8 * [Elemental Lore, Water Ranks] - 7) / 2
• First Roll is a random number from 0 to 8
• Second Roll is a random number from 0 to [First Roll + Lore Skill Modifier]
• The number of targets is the smaller number of [First Roll + Lore Skill Modifier] and [Second Roll + MOC Ranks].

(As such, training in Elemental Lore, Water contributes to both of the values from which the smaller number is chosen.)

Elemental Lore, Water ranks 0 1 2 4 7 11 16 22 29 37 46 56 Possible additional splashes 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 Elemental Lore, Water ranks 67 79 92 106 121 137 154 172 191 211 232 Possible additional splashes 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22

Water Lore also increases the duration of Stun Shock, which is 8 sec + seed 10 rank summation.

• Earthen Fury (917)

Training in Water Lore gives each successful critical cycle a (Lore Ranks/5)% chance to do an immediate extra, more powerful, critical against the target in the Cold version of the spell, not subject to rounding.
