Once again the Wizards of the Guild dug deep into the mysteries of the elements and unlocked one troubling feature of Elemental Focus (513). They found a way see past the fog that obscured their ability to use weapons effectively. No longer will Elemental Focus impede an attack with weapons!

Also while researching the above, the wizards discovered a new facet of the spell previously undiscovered! When the spell is active it will aid in the wizard's ability to "narrow their focus" on a specific target. Each subsequent bolt attack made on the same target will see an increase in their ability to hit that target.

The nitty gritty: The AS penalty for physical attacks has been removed. The "focusing" effect will add +1 AS for each seed 4 Elemental Lore, Fire per bolt attack on the same target, capped at +25 total AS boost. The AS will increase whether or not you actually hit the target, and only while casting bolt spells. Casting at another target removes the "focusing" AS boost.

Casting a non-bolt spell, or general area spells like Elemental Wave (410) or Cone of Elements (518) will not affect the focusing boost.
