You gesture at a cinder wasp.
You unleash a bolt of churning air at a cinder wasp!
AS: +322 vs DS: +255 with AvD: +41 + d100 roll: +7 = +115
... and hit for 11 points of damage!
Side strike shoves the cinder wasp several feet sideways.
The cinder wasp is knocked to the ground!
Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.

Well I finally put aside enough points for 20 ranks of air lore, and after only having it a day I am in love with it. It is easily worth the points and I wish I took everybodies advice and got it sooner.

Now I need to decide if I get the extra rank fo one more disk space, and then if I want the next three ranks for the RT bonus.

edit: added bolding to illustrate why I shared this... on such a low endroll I still get a knockdown. Oh, cinder wasps tend to resist being knocked down, removing a leg doesn't always do it.

Wow, that's a nifty trick. They really changed Hand of Tonis. Is there anymore benefits with more ranks?

Can you elaborate on the RT bonus? Bonus on what RT? And how do you figure that 21 ranks will get you an extra disk space over 20?

Read the official spell descriptions. Air lore increases RT reduction from Haste and increases your disk's carrying capacity.

The OP is wrong then... Haste says -1 RT at 100, OP is implying he'll get reduced RT at 23 ranks. Also I want to know how he's calculating that 21 ranks will give a disk capacity of 10, the spell description is not that specific.

For lore benefits and their requirements:

Also keep in mind, the Haste rt reduction is tied into both MjE and lore ranks, if you're aiming for that.

Interesting... the official description for Haste is wrong then.

Never believe the official description for anything.

I used my FIXSKILLS to grab 20 ranks of air for this spell, on the word of everyone here. Glad I did, it's fucking sick. Can knock down crap 80% of the time, follow up with some cheap bolts which often crit on the first shot.
