Minor Acid is a bolt spell used to hurl a hissing stream of acid at a foe. The Attack Strength for this spell is determined by Dexterity bonus and Spell Aiming bonus. This spell uses the acid critical table.

Usage

  • CAST {target} or INCANT this spell to hurl a stream of acid at a target.
  • EVOKE this spell to hurl a ball of acid at a target. This requires at least 30 ranks of Elemental Lore, Water and costs 6 mana.
Prep 904|Evoke {target}
Warning: Using EVOKE without specifying a target will result in the spell targeting the caster.

Lore Benefits

Elemental Lore, Water

30 ranks of Water Lore unlocks the ability to cast Major Acid (1710) using EVOKE. This costs 6 mana per cast.

Elemental Lore, Earth

10 ranks of Earth Lore unlocks the ability to apply an acid burn effect on a target. 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.

% chance for effect = 25 + trunc(Elemental Lore, Earth skill bonus ÷ 4)

Not all thresholds shown.

Damage Factor Bonus

Training in Elemental Lore, Earth and/or Elemental Lore, Water will increase the spell's damage factors. The increase is .001 per two ranks for the first 100 ranks and .001 per four ranks for ranks 101 to 200. There is no requirement to train in both lores to increase the damage factors for this spell. Total DF bonus with 200 lore ranks is .075.
