Cone of Elements causes a bolt of elemental energy to arc to a large number of enemies in the room.

The spell can be cast using CAST or EVOKE:

  • When CAST, the spell will be player friendly and hit up to (2 + (Elemental Mana Control Skill / 75)) targets.
  • When EVOKED, the spell will be group friendly and hit up to (5 + (Elemental Mana Control Skill / 50)) targets.
  • Also when EVOKED, the spell will hit hidden/invisible targets. On a successful hit, the target will fall out of hiding/invisibility.

When casting/evoking this spell, the caster's attunement will be used to determine the bolt that is hurled out by this spell. If no attunement is selected, it will randomly choose between fire, cold, earth, air, or lightning damage. There is also the option to specify the type of element the caster would like to use if they meet the lore requirements for that type (e.g. 'EVOKE COLD', 'CAST FIRE').

Base elemental effects are achieved by casting AoE versions of the following spells:
  • A unique vacuum based bolt will be used for air.

Casting/Evoking any of the above without being attuned to the given element will require 20 ranks of the appropriate lore (e.g. 20 ranks of Elemental Lore, Fire will allow the casting of the Minor Fire (906) version of cone).
