Minor Elemental Edge is a spell that imparts a temporary bonus equivalent to a +15 (3x) enchant to weapons, including runestaves and unarmed combat hand and foot gear. The spell's duration is one (1) swing per level of the caster. An 'edged' weapon is useable by characters of any level or profession (normal level/enchant bonus restrictions do not apply). The +15 bonus applies to both attack (AS) and defensive strength (DS). Each swing reduces the remaining number of swings by one (1) even when the attack misses the target.

Spell Usage

Simply prepare the spell and cast it on a normal (non-magical, non-blessed, non-flaring, non-weighted) weapon. The weapon must meet all of the requirements listed.
