Elemental Blade (411)

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.

Elemental Blade provides the weapon or runestaff with a +20 bonus to enchantment and one of 5 types of elemental flares.

When casting the spell at a weapon or runestaff it must be completely free of any other mechanical effects. This means that the weapon cannot have any flares or weighting (crit or damage). However, elemental blade may be cast on master-fletched arrows (which have an innate +5 bonus above the material's bonus). If the caster of the spell is attuned to a specific element then the flares of the weapon will be of the caster's nature for the duration of the spell.

Additionally, when a caster is attuned to an element there is a minor boost to the critical weighting from the flares on the weapon.

Attunement

Using the ATTUNE command, a character can specify an element to which he or she is naturally attuned to. Be forewarned that this is a one-time choice and cannot be changed or reversed once chosen. However, it is possible to toggle the effects of attunement on and off using the ATTUNE ELEMENT and ATTUNE RANDOM commands. If the caster is not attuned to an element, then any time he casts a spell that is based on him being elementally attuned, the element chosen will be completely random for each cast of the spell. If the caster is already attuned, and he his focusing his energy on his element using ATTUNE ELEMENT, he will always get that same element each cast of a spell that depends on elemental attunement.

E-Blading Enchanted Weapons

Introduced in the Elemental Lore Review, E-Blade can be used on enchanted weapons, as long as the target weapon does not have pre-existing weighting or flares. The threshold of an enchanted weapon that can be e-bladed is based on SEED 3 of the summation tables per +1 of the enchant. Furthermore, weapons of eligible enchant will only accept an e-blade of the element that the casting wizard has adequate skill of. For example, if a wizard is fire attuned, but has the adequate air lore for the e-blade, he/she will need to attune random, and the weapon will only accept lightning or air flares.

Element Identification

Once the spell has been successfully cast upon a weapon, the e-bladed weapon will be surrounded by a scintillating (white, brown, red, blue or silver) light. Use the LOOK verb to see this. E.g., LOOK my dagger <The dagger is surrounded by a scintillating red light>. Each color is symbolic of one the five attuneable elements.

Each element has an inherent damage type that can, when unleashed, cause critical injuries associated with that damage type. Casting spell Elemental Detection (405) at the weapon will give a message specifying the damage type. E.g., <You sense that the dagger has a magical enhancement of its ability to hit, and will deliver intermittent blasts of fire.>

Element Damage Types

• Air (White): Vacuum critical damage

Ex. Chest decompresses violently and explodes in a shower of bone and lung!

• Earth (Brown): Impact/Vibration critical damage

Ex. Every bone in the left arm shattered and scattered about!

• Fire (Red): Fire critical damage

Ex. Fire completely surrounds [target]. Blood boils and heart stops.

• Water (Blue): Cold/Ice critical damage

Ex. Head freezes solid and the [target] topples over, shattering skull on impact.

• Lightning (Silver): Lightning/Electric Shock critical damage

Ex. Hideously bright electrical bolt sends left leg into another universe. Happy traveling.

Of special interest to archers: they may get their arrows or bolts elementally bladed, and in combination with a +20 bow will have the equivalent of an 8x (+40) weapon.
