Editing Weapons (section)

=== Weapon element ===
Certain weapon types, however, have a chance to convert the damage dealt to an [[element]]al damage type. The total strength of the weapon will be reduced by the damage penalty E, which appears to range from 0 to 5 [more data needed], and in return the chance of converting the damage type will be increased for larger values of the penalty. The chance is also affected by level, rarity, element, and faction. 

[[Factions|Faction]] weapons with elements aligned to that faction, such as [[Tempestae]] weapons for the [[Hammermage]] class, have significantly higher elemental chance than weapons of different elements. 

When an elemental weapon triggers its damage conversion against a target that is vulnerable to that element, based on their specific characteristics the bonus-damage appears to be +20% to +25% [more data needed].
