__TOC__
==Description==
'''Major Elemental Wave''' causes the mana in the area to "pulse" in a physical wave that may result in knocking down all characters and creatures in the area. With the increased power imparted into this wave from the additional mana expended it is possible that the wave will discharge some of the imbued energy into any object it encounters with potentially damaging consequences.

The wave moves outward from the caster and the caster has some limited control over the direction that the wave moves in, allowing it to avoid other characters if using {{mono|CAST}} or affecting anyone if using {{mono|EVOKE}}. Potential targets are subject to an [[SMR]] attack which knocks [[Prone]], causes [[Staggered]], and can deliver a damaging elemental critical.

A successful major elemental wave may cause the affected creatures or characters to be pinned to the ground for up to 20 seconds with the possibility of death or damage. The spell cannot affect flying creatures while in flight without training in [[#Elemental Lore, Air|Elemental Lore, Air]], and some creatures are immune to its effects.

Elementally [[ATTUNE]]d characters will have their attunement determine the damage type.

==Lore Benefits==
===[[Elemental Lore, Air]]===
50 ranks of Elemental Lore, Air will turn every cast of Major Elemental Wave into a spherical wave that can affect [[:Category:Avian Creatures|flying targets]], but will not knock them out of the air.

===[[Elemental Lore, Water]]===
Training in Elemental Lore, Water will cause targets to have a reduced maneuver defense based on a linear formula involving skill bonus. The specifics are unknown, but 90 skill (20 ranks) is enough to overcome the defensive bonus provided by the spell [[Empathic Focus (1109)]] and continued skill increases further improve this bonus without diminishing returns.
