Elemental burst was a common spell used by wu jen that unleashed a burst of elemental energy from a target.[4] The spell was very rare outside Kara-Tur.[3]
Effects[]
To be effective, the target had to contain one or more of the elements air, fire, stone, water, or wood. The spell had a range of 60 yards (55 meters) and an area of effect 10 feet (3 meters) wide.[3][4]
Each element had a different effect:
- Air
- Created a burst of air that formed a concussive wave.[3]
- Fire
- Created a fire that would throw off sparks that ignited inflammable material in the spell's area of effect.[3]
- Stone and Wood
- Created a burst of sharp slivers of stone or wood.[3]
- Water
- Created a strong wave that swept through the area of effect. Boats and ships were unaffected.[3]
If a wu jen attempted to cast this spell in the phlogiston, the spell would fail.[5]
Components[]
The spell required only verbal and somatic components.[3][4]
