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

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. 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.

This spell is widely used by War Mages instead of Elemental Focus (513), which is used by most other Wizards as an AS booster. Some other wizards use both in combination, mainly to harvest the encumberance reducing benefits of this spell.
