Re: 425: Elemental Targetting Bonus Fix

Author: GS4-NAOS

A bug in the accrual calculation for the bonus from Minor Elemental spell ranks beyond 25 has been fixed. The bonus can be calculated as ((E-MnE - 25) / 2), where E-MnE is the caster's effective Minor Elemental spell ranks limited by their level.

The net result of this change shifts the levels at which an additional bonus accrues from even (26, 28, 30, etc.) levels to odd (27, 29, 31, etc.) levels, capping at 75 MnE Ranks.

Note that players currently with an even number of Minor Elemental spell ranks will experience a 'loss' of one (1) point of Attack Strength and one (1) point of Elemental Casting Strength.
