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|ranged weapons]].

This spell is widely used by [[War Mage]]s instead of [[Elemental Focus (513)]], which is used by most other [[Wizard]]s as an [[Attack strength|AS]] booster. Some other wizards use both in combination, mainly to harvest the encumberance reducing benefits of this spell.

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

Strength increases the target's strength (but does not directly enhance the Strength stat), effectively increasing attack strength using melee weapons and reducing encumbrance. This spell adds a base of +15 to a character's attack strength, which can be increased with training in Elemental Lore, Earth.

Lore Benefit

Training in Elemental Lore, Earth, provides an additional bonus to the base +15 AS by seed 4 summation of ranks. 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.

Elemental Lore, Earth ranks 4 9 15 22 30 39 49 60 72 85 99 114 130 147 165 184 204 225 247
