Skill Rules & Full Description

This skill allows the character to imbue one of their weapons with the power of a single element. The element can be any element they can channel, i.e. the element from the school you can channel plus each additional school leaned with Expanded Focus. The weapon will swing for the type of damage given in the table below. The character should suffix their damage by the effect in the second column.

So if a character invokes this skill and chooses fire as their element, they would suffix “...Fire” to their damage.For example, Vendric’s Dedicated Blade is an enchanted long sword, which he has purchased 4 Weapon Proficiency skills with. Normally he would call “8 Magic”, but after using the Elemental Weapon skill, he now calls “8 Magic Fire” or he could call “8 Fire Magic”.It takes 10 seconds to activate this skill, the effect is active after that time, and has a duration of 10 minutes. If a character has two uses of this skill and wishes to imbue two weapons with an element, they only need to spend 10 seconds, but still expends two purchases of this skill. The element for each weapon can be different. Therefore, the character can imbue fire in one weapon and ice in another other so long as they are both dedicated weapons. This uses two purchases of the skill, and the character spends only 10 seconds of in-game time to activate the skill. Once this skill is active on the character’s weapon, it can be dispelled with a Dispel Magic spell or similar affect cast on the character or on the weapon if the character is not holding it.Since dedicated weapons are personal, the elemental affect is only active for the character invoking this skill. If they lose their weapon for any reason, they can reclaim the weapon and use the elemental effect until the duration expires. Regardless how long the character is in possession of or uses their weapon, the total time this skill is active is never more than 10 minutes.To use this skill, the character has to take a knee, kneel, or sit, hold out their weapon(s) in a manner obvious they are performing some in-game action. This skill can only be used on a weapon the character has previously dedicated.
