Tremors (909)

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.

This article is a work in progress!

Tremors causes a disruption in the magical aura of an area, causing the area to begin shaking in what seems like a very minor earthquake, complete with aftershocks (except that it is an illusion). The strength of the initial tremor is randomly strong or weak, and the series of aftershocks progressively weaken in strength from the initial tremor. As an area of effect spell, everyone outside of the caster's group is subject to a warding roll to remain standing. Any targets knocked down by Tremors will suffer a penalty to their evade block parry (EBP)% for 10 seconds (described in detail below). Prone targets that would have failed the knock-down roll also receive said penalty.

Tremors can also be self-cast by preparing and then evoking the spell. This will imbue the caster with the 5 charges of Tremors. The caster can then STOMP the ground, causing a single set of tremors at a cost of 5 mana and one charge. The self-cast version of Tremors has a duration of 20 minutes + (Wizard Base ranks * 60 seconds). Re-evoking Tremors refreshes both the duration and the number of charges.

Although this spell seemingly functions similar to the Arcane spell Quake (1714), it does not affect adjacent rooms, and creatures do not receive roundtime when they fall.

Usage

• PREP 909 | CAST or INCANT 909 to cast the open cast version of the spell.
• EVOKE 909 to infuse a character with charges, which are later activated using:

Foot	STOMP
Runestaff	TAP
Two-handed weapon (e.g. maul)	POUND

• These activators differ only in flavor messaging and are used alone without a target (i.e., just TAP, not TAP RUNESTAFF)

Mana Control Benefit

Training in Elemental Mana Control will reduce the mana cost of using a charge of the self-cast version of the spell by one each at 75 ranks and 150 ranks.

Elemental Mana Control ranks	0	75	150
Self-cast charge activation mana cost	5	4	3

Lore Benefits

Any targets knocked down by Tremors will suffer a penalty to their evade block parry (EBP)% of [5 + (seed 4 Elemental Lore, Earth summation / 2)]% for 10 seconds. Character with enough training in Elemental Lore, Earth will receive more charges when self-casting Tremors.

The base number of charges is 5, with a bonus charge for 20, 50, 90, 150, and 200 ranks.
