__TOC__
'''Nature's Fury''' is a powerful mass [[warding]] attack spell allows a [[ranger]] to call upon the chaotic forces of nature to smite his foes. All not joined to the caster must pass a visible check and must pass another warding check each critical damage cycle to avoid the spell's effects.

The spell will first cause [[hitpoint]] only damage followed by a [[critical]] damage cycle. Training in [[#Lore Benefit|Spiritual Lore, Summoning]] provides a chance to increase the number of critical damage cycles.

The type of critical damage is determined by the climate and terrain at the caster's location but will often include [[puncture critical table|puncture]] and [[impact critical table|impact]] damage.

Targets are subject to a -15 [[Target Defense]] pushdown.

==Initial (Raw) Damage Formula==

There are two components to the initial damage. The first is a base (minimum) damage of 15 [[hitpoint]]s and the second is a 0.200 [[damage factor]] applied to the [[endroll]] success margin defined as the endroll - 100. This is [[critical|non-critical]] damage only and is the first damage value displayed in the combat messaging panel.

<div {{prettydiv|margin-right=35%}}><CENTER>{{boldmono|Initial damage <nowiki>=</nowiki> 15 base + [[trunc]][(endroll - 100) × 0.200]}}</CENTER></div>

;Example
With a 150 endroll (endroll success margin of 50) the total initial damage is:

:{{mono|15 base + (50 × 0.200) <nowiki>=</nowiki> 25}}

==Lore Benefit==
Training in [[Spiritual Lore, Summoning]] provides a chance to increase the number of critical damage cycles by a chance equal to the Summoning Lore [[skill bonus]]. For example, a 90 bonus (20 ranks) would allow a 90% chance for another damage cycle. This percentage chance is uncapped. With 100 ranks (200 bonus) of lore the spell will have a 100% chance for 3 critical damage cycles (the initial cycle plus 2 additional).

==Messaging==

The initial 41 points of damage in the first strike is hitpoint only. From the formula above the damage calculation is:

:{{mono|15 + (230 - 100) × 0.200) <nowiki>=</nowiki> 41}}

This is then followed by four critical damage cycles against the first target.
