Elemental Strike inflicts a burst of elemental energy upon the target, which causes immediate health damage followed by a critical of a particular element.
A character who is attuned to a particular element will produce an Elemental Strike of the selected element. If the caster is not attuned to any element, a random element will be produced each time the spell is cast.

Lore Benefit

The original target of the spell is eligible to be hit by the 2nd elemental strike. The additional strike will only strike creatures and will never occur if a player casts this spell at another player or if the additional 5 mana is not available.
