Lesser Spell Foci - Alexthw46/Ars-Elemental GitHub Wiki
This tier of focus can be obtained pretty early in the progression. Will allow to unlock new abilites on existing glyphs and give a discount and amplify on the glyphs of its school. As a drawback, it will also dampen glyphs from the other elemental schools.
Fire
Empower Ignite -> Apply Hellfire status. Greatly reduce the healing of the afflicted entity. Allows Flare to hit fire-immune mobs.
Allows Ignite + Evaporate combo -> Sublimate. Will remove ice blocks instead of just melting them into water.
Damage Switch: If you try to deal fire damage to a fire immune mob, the damage will be converted to magic, allowing to hit it anyway.

Water
Empower Freeze -> Apply frost buildup. Same effect as Powder Snow, but quickened. Will convert skeletons to strays.
Allows Conjure Water + Freeze combo -> Conjure Ice. Since Conjure Water + Aoe + Freeze might not work as intended, this focus make it place ice directly.
Damage Switch: If you try to deal drowning damage to a water mob, the damage will be converted to magic, allowing to hit it anyway.

Empowers Grow: If Grow hit an undead, it will deal magic damage. If the damage kill the mob and there's grass, dirt or moss under it, there's the chance that a Spore Blossom will sprout.
Empowers Poison Spores: Hunger will be inflicted before the damage triggers, allowing to hit even undead mobs with this spell, since they are immune to poison.
Allows Gravity + Sensitive combo -> Gravity Well. The lingering cloud will attract all entities to its center. Compatible with filter glyphs.
