Elemental Strike inflicts a burst of elemental energy upon the target, which causes immediate health damage followed by a critical of a particular element.

A character who is attuned to a particular element will produce an Elemental Strike of the selected element. If the caster is not attuned to any element, a random element will be produced each time the spell is cast.

Training in Elemental Lore, Fire provides a chance equal to the caster's Elemental Lore Fire bonus / 2 to trigger a 2nd elemental strike on a random opponent in the room for an additional cost of 5 mana. The original target of the spell is eligible to be hit by the 2nd elemental strike. The additional strike will only strike creatures and will never occur if a player casts this spell at another player or if the additional 5 mana is not available.
