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 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.

Usage

• CAST {target} or INCANT this spell to hurl a lightning bolt at a target.
