Lore Benefits
30 ranks of Water Lore unlocks the ability to cast Major Acid (1710) using EVOKE. This costs 6 mana per cast.
10 ranks of Earth Lore unlocks the ability to apply an Acid Burn effect on a target. The chance to land this effect is 25% + Elemental Lore, Earth skill bonus/4. The percentage increases to 100 with 300 skill (200 lore ranks). The effect generates two (2) additional acid flares at 5 second intervals after the initial cast. This ability only applies to the Minor Acid version of the spell.
