__TOC__
'''Stone Fist''' is a [[warding]] spell that uses the earth element to conjure a massive stone fist. This fist will grab on to the enemy, leaving it [[rooted]] where it stands, thus hampering combat by imposing a penalty of -50 AS to melee attacks, -25 AS to ranged attacks, and -25 DS, and preventing maneuvers; the target may still be able to perform actions, such as attacking and spell prepping/casting. This condition does not stack with other conditions. The duration is a base of 15 seconds with an additional 1 second per 4 warding failure (e.g. a 161 endroll will double the duration to 30 seconds).


Rooted targets are immune to additional casts of the spell. After the initial 14 mana cast, the fist remains linked to the caster's hand and the caster may command the fist to perform various actions that may result in [[hitpoint]] and/or [[critical]] damage, as well as the target being subject to [[roundtime]] (RT) and various [[:Category:Status Conditions|status conditions]]. These commands require additional mana and are subject to the rules of normal casting. Some may only be performed by training in [[#Lore Benefits|Elemental Lore, Earth]].
Using the elemental powers of Earth, the Wizard is able to conjure a massive stone fist. This fist will grab on to the enemy, leaving it rooted where it stands, and hampering combat. The Wizard may then direct the stone fist to weaken the foe into submission, enabling him to attack with the final blow.


To execute an action, the command '''must be targeted''' at the foe held by the stone fist (e.g., WAVE troll, CLENCH troll etc.)
==SPELL BASICS==


Stone Fist is ineffective against [[non-corporeal]] creatures.
[[Cast]] or [[Incant]] the spell normally to ward the target. When successful, the target will be rooted in place reducing its AS and DS. However, the target may still be able to perform actions, such as attacking and spell prepping/casting.
While held by one stone fist, targets are immune to additional casts of the spell. After the initial 14 mana cast, the fist remains linked to the caster's hand. Using various hand gestures, the caster can command the fist to act. These commands require additional mana and are subject to the rules of normal casting.


{{Usage|s=514}}
To invoke an action it '''must be targeted''' at the foe held by the caster's stone fist, e.g., WAVE troll, CLENCH troll etc.
*Casting Stone Fist at certain items will crush them


Commands that do not break the fist can be followed up with additional actions.

Stone Fist is a warding spell that uses the earth element to conjure a massive stone fist. This fist will grab on to the enemy, leaving it rooted where it stands, thus hampering combat by imposing a penalty of -50 AS to melee attacks, -25 AS to ranged attacks, and -25 DS, and preventing maneuvers; the target may still be able to perform actions, such as attacking and spell prepping/casting. This condition does not stack with other conditions. The duration is a base of 15 seconds with an additional 1 second per 4 warding failure (e.g. a 161 endroll will double the duration to 30 seconds).

Rooted targets are immune to additional casts of the spell. After the initial 14 mana cast, the fist remains linked to the caster's hand and the caster may command the fist to perform various actions that may result in hitpoint and/or critical damage, as well as the target being subject to roundtime (RT) and various status conditions. These commands require additional mana and are subject to the rules of normal casting. Some may only be performed by training in Elemental Lore, Earth.

To execute an action, the command must be targeted at the foe held by the stone fist (e.g., WAVE troll, CLENCH troll etc.)

Stone Fist is ineffective against non-corporeal creatures.
