Elemental Lore, Water

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.

Minor Elemental

• Lock Pick Enhancement (403)

Training in Water Lore will remove 1 point per seed 10 summation level of potential damage to a lockpick on a failed picking attempt. The potential damage to a lockpick can completely removed, but any previous damage will not be fixed by Water Lore. The bonus will apply when cast on others.

• Disarm Enhancement (404)

Training in Water Lore will reduce disarming roundtime by 1 second per seed 6 summation.

• Unlock (407)

Training in Water Lore will corrode a lock on unsuccessful casts. Each corrosion of the lock will subtract from the lock's difficulty based on a seed 1 of the Summation Chart up to a total reduction of 10% of the lock difficulty. The effect lasts 60 seconds and is refreshed on successive casts, while the corrosion is cumulative upon each cast (up to 10%).

• Disarm (408)

Training in Water Lore will corrode a trap on unsuccessful casts. Each corrosion of the trap will subtract from the trap's difficulty based on a seed 1 of the Summation Chart up to a total reduction of 10% of the trap difficulty. The effect lasts 60 seconds and is refreshed on successive casts, while the corrosion is cumulative upon each cast (up to 10%).

• Elemental Wave (410)

Training in Water Lore will cause targets to have a reduced maneuver defense determined by an unknown linear formula based on skill.

• Piercing Gaze (416)

Training in Water Lore will provide a chance of Skill/4 to show Unlock and Disarm success messaging (the messaging for Disarm to work will only be displayed if the caster has discovered the trap).

• Mana Focus (418)

Training in Water Lore will apply a +10 mana regeneration bonus to the caster only on successful attempts. The duration of the effect is a set number of pulses based on a seed 10 summation. This effect does not require the caster to remain in the noded room.

• Major Elemental Wave (435)

Training in Water Lore will cause targets to have a reduced maneuver defense determined by an unknown linear formula based on skill.

Major Elemental

• Ice Patch (512)

Training in Water Lore increases the duration of the Ice Patch and its ability to make people/critters fall and hurt themselves. Targetted, Water Lore allows subsequent casts of Minor Water to convert to Minor Cold (the blue wand spell, 1709), with 10 ranks allowing one cast conversion and a maximum of 13 conversions at 196 ranks (uses the summation chart with a seed of ten.)

• Cone of Elements (518)

Wizard Base

• Minor Shock (901)

Training in Water Lore increases the damage factor by .001 per two ranks up to rank 100 and .001 per 4 ranks for ranks 101 to 200. Total cumulative bonus of .075 at 200 ranks (300 skill) of water lore.

• Minor Water (903)

Training in Water Lore increases the damage factor by .001 per rank up to 50 ranks, .001 per two ranks for ranks 51 to 100 and .001 per four ranks for ranks above 100.

• Minor Acid (904)

Training in Water Lore to 30 ranks unlocks Major Acid (1710).

• Major Cold (907)

Training in Water Lore increases the damage factor by .001 per rank up to 50 ranks, .001 per two ranks for ranks 51 to 100 and .001 per four ranks for ranks above 100. In addition, Water Lore determines the maximum number of opponents you can hit with the additional flares from the spell (See ball spells).

• Major Shock (910)

Training in Water Lore increases the damage factor by .001 every two ranks up to rank 100 and .001 per four ranks for ranks 101 to 200. Total cumulative bonus of .075 at 200 ranks (300 skill) of water lore.

• Call Familiar (920)

50 ranks of Water Lore will unlock the ability to set an anchor to the naturally occurring earthnode of a caster's choice.

Sorcerer Base

• Dark Catalyst (719)

Despite being a Sorcerer spell, Dark Catalyst is affected only by Elemental Lores. All four Lores affect only the damage from the respective element during Dark Catalyst's cycle. It is not based on the Summation Chart. It is known, however, that returns for this spell from training in Elemental Lores diminish after 12 ranks.

Dark Catalyst's (719) Elemental Lore bonus is a bit convoluted. I will tell you this: at 12 ranks of the appropriate lore, it adds one crit rank to the relevant damage cycle, at 50 lore ranks it adds 2 crit ranks, and at 100 lore ranks it adds 3 crit ranks. It's a flat modifier and the warding margin is not a factor. If you're wanting to crit kill with Dark Catalyst, the lore benefit is pretty good, although admittedly, you don't receive much other benefit with those ranks (at least until the Elemental Lore Review for the Minor Elemental spell circle).

Arcane

• Minor Cold (1709)

Training in Water Lore increases the damage factor by .001 per rank up to 50 ranks, .001 per two ranks for ranks 51 to 100 and .001 per four ranks for ranks 101 to 200. Total cumulative bonus is .100 at 200 ranks (300 skill) of water lore.
