Minor Elemental Edge is a spell that imparts a temporary bonus equivalent to a +15 (3x) enchant to plain (non-magical, non-blessed, non-flaring, non-weighted) weapons, including runestaves and unarmed combat hand and foot gear. The duration is 20 + (3 × Wizard Base ranks) of the caster, and each swing reduces the remaining number of swings by 1 even when the attack misses the target. An "edged" weapon is usable by characters of any level or profession as normal level/enchant bonus restrictions do not apply. The +15 bonus applies to both attack (AS) and defensive strength (DS).
War mages of any level gain an additional benefit from the spell when it is EVOKEd with a weapon in hand. Evoking will add an enhancive effect to any weapon (i.e., they can be enhancive, weighted, enchanted, flaring, etc.), adding +10 to skill bonus, as determined by the weapon (e.g. a dagger will grant +10 to Edged Weapons skill bonus). Training in Elemental Lore, Earth will increase the enchant bonus. This effect is self-evoke only; others will not receive the bonus if the weapon is passed to them, and only wizards may evoke Minor Elemental Edge, even when invoked from a scroll. A couple of notes on the enhancive benefit:
- If 1x trained in Thrown Weapons, the spell will always grant Thrown Weapons skill regardless of the weapon held when evoking (unless it is UAC gloves/boots).
- While the bonus can be applied to UAC gloves and boots and brawling weapons, only one will apply; the effect does not stack. Similarly, two-weapon combat mages can only gain the enhancive boost from one of their weapons at a time.
The regular and evoke versions do not stack.
