Cone of Elements causes a bolt of elemental energy to arc to a large number of enemies in the room.

When using this spell, the caster's attunement will determine the type of bolt. If no attunement is selected, it will randomly choose between fire, cold, earth, air, or lightning damage. There is also the option to specify the type of element the caster would like to use if they meet the lore requirements for that type (e.g. 'EVOKE COLD', 'CAST FIRE').

Base elemental effects are achieved by casting AoE versions of the following spells:
