Lore Benefits

Elemental Lore, Air allows the caster to 'convert' Hand of Tonis into an air-based bolt spell in offensive stance. It is commonly refered to as Tonis Bolt. In addition, continued training increases the spell's damage factor by .001 per rank, until rank 50. After the 50th rank, it increases by .0005 per rank until the 100th rank.
