Core Tap (950)
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Core Tap allows the caster to specify up to 6 spells to instantly cast at all creatures in the room, up to the wizard's target cap of 5 + (Elemental Mana Control skill / 50). It has a base 1 minute cooldown. It can be used to cast any spell (including defensive spells, AoE spells, and single target spells). AoE spells are only cast once, not at each creature in the room. Due to the AoE nature of the spell, runestaves will not flare when casting this spell.
Usage
To cast the spell, the wizard simply specifies the list of spells they want to cast after CAST <target> or INCANT 950. e.g. 'INCANT 950 912 410 907 908 510 910', which would cast Call Wind (912) once, Elemental Wave (410) once, then Major Cold (907), Major Fire (908), Hurl Boulder (510), and Major Shock (910) at every creature in the room (up to the caster's target limit). All of these spells are cast instantly and in the specified order.
The mana cost for the above example would be 12 + 10 + 14 + 16 + 20 + 20 - 50 (offset from 950 itself) = 42 mana, plus 50 from 950 itself, so 92 mana total. It's a costly but powerful spell and wizards can customize it by using specific spells to lower the mana cost or achieve certain setups.
Once 950 is cast once, it will remember what spells the caster used and subsequent casts can forego the list to just recast the same spells (e.g. after using 'INCANT 950 912 410 907 908 510 910' once, the caster can just 'INCANT 950' in the future to always recast the same spells again).

Lore Benefits
Unlike almost all other spells utilizing summation seeds, wizards training in the three lores that utilize seeds for Core Tap will receive benefits from each rank trained, rather than just at the seed thresholds.

Elemental Lore, Air
Training in Air Lore allows for a chance to CHANNEL the spells cast (without having to be in offensive stance or receiving the RT) based on a 5 multiplier of a seed 1, such that 50 ranks it's 47% chance, at 100 ranks, it's 68%, etc.
