Elemental Focus is a bolt enhancement spell.

It provides:

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 the caster's level.

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

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.

Elemental Lore, Fire ranks 4 9 15 22 30 39 49 60 72 85 99 114
Bolt AS bonus (accumulates) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
Casts to +25 max bonus 26 14 10 8 6 6 5 5 4 4 4 4
Elemental Lore, Fire ranks 130 147 165 184 204 225 247
Bolt AS bonus (accumulates) 13 14 15 16 17 18 19
Casts to +25 max bonus 3 3 3 3 3 3 3
Initial cast is 0 bonus from lore.

Mana Cost

The base cost is 13 mana plus 1 additional mana per bonus point past rank 13. The maximum cost is 56 mana at level 99 with 99 spell ranks.

Maximum mana cost = round [(level ÷ 2) + 13]
E.g., level 65 character: round [(65 ÷ 2) + 6] = 38.5 rounds up to 39 maximum mana with 65 spell ranks.
