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

Every 20 ranks of Earth Lore will allow the open cast version of the spell to affect an additional target.
25 Earth Lore ranks unlocks the ability to get a 5% chance for a magical barrier to deflect a single physical (AS/DS) attack, if the caster has all 3 Elemental Defense spells active and has the knowledge to cast all of them. Every 20 additional Earth Lore ranks adds 1% to the deflection chance. Odds are reduced by 1% for every 5 levels the attacker is above the caster.
Training in Earth Lore provides a percentage chance equal to the seed 10 summation of ranks trained to gain +10 combat effective points of critical padding for any single attack.
