==Lore Benefits==
The total amount of damage that the spell can absorb is calculated as 20 + ([[Major Elemental]] Ranks - 20) + ([[Elemental Lore, Earth|Earth Lore]] Ranks / 2). The shatter point is what affects the actual description (thin, hard, etc.). It is calculated by 10 + (Major Elemental Ranks / 2) + (random number between 0 and 50, but if that's less than (Earth Lore Ranks / 6), use (Earth Lore Ranks / 6) instead). The possible descriptions are:
[[Elemental Lore, Earth]] increases the amount of damage that the spell can absorb and affects the shatter point.
