'''Major Shock''' is an elemental [[bolt]] spell which enables the caster to hurl a powerful bolt of lightning from the palm of the hand toward a designated target. This is a much more powerful version of the wizard's initial attack spell [[Minor Shock (901)]]. The [[Attack Strength]] for this spell is primarily a function of the caster's [[Spell Aiming]] skill and [[dexterity]] bonus, although other spells, such as [[Elemental Focus (513)]] and [[Elemental Targeting (425)]], can add significantly to its effectiveness. Successful attacks will cause the target to sustain [[hitpoint]] damage and possibly [[Lightning critical table|lightning]] based [[critical]] injuries. |

Major Shock is an elemental bolt spell which enables the caster to hurl a powerful bolt of lightning from the palm of the hand toward a designated target. This is a much more powerful version of the wizard's initial attack spell Minor Shock (901). The Attack Strength for this spell is primarily a function of the caster's Spell Aiming skill and dexterity bonus, although other spells, such as Elemental Focus (513) and Elemental Targeting (425), can add significantly to its effectiveness. Successful attacks will cause the target to sustain hitpoint damage and possibly lightning based critical injuries.
Lores and Increased Damage
Training in either Elemental Lore, Water and/or Elemental Lore, Air will increase the spell's damage factors. The increase is .001 per two ranks for the first 50 ranks (confirmed), .001 per four ranks for ranks 51 - 100 (not yet confirmed) and .001 per eight ranks (not yet confirmed) for ranks greater than 100. There is no requirement to train in both lores (as previously thought) to increase the damage factors for this spell. What is different with Minor Shock (901), Major Shock (910) and Cone of Lightning (518) compared to other spells that have DF increases from lore training is that these lightning base spells require twice as many ranks for the same benefit.
