Lance (Druid Skill)

Helpfile

Guild Level:  1
SP Cost:      15 spell points
Skill:        Atmosphere
Syntax:       lance <target>

Druids, directly attuned with the very essence of nature, possess the inherent ability to draw forth nature's might, bending it to Dragmar's will. Using lance, a druid seizes control of the natural order and unleashes a single lance of lightning at a specified target.

When used outdoors under a cloudy sky, your lance will have a chance of being more effective, able to draw fully upon the built-up static in the natural world.

Commentary

---

Lance is the first attack lore the druid learns and will be used extensively until some time after the druid learns the blast lore. Note that a druid should not immediately switch to blast upon acquiring level 10. Like the elementalist's rite strike, the sp-to-damage ratio favors lance for some time.

Lance takes 2 rounds to cast.

Unlike the bard skill aria, lance maintains a good sp-to-damage ratio, despite being a level 1 power.
