Mastery

• At Level 75 Damage Lore increases effectiveness and duration of Secondary Effects.

• Unlocks the "Additional Damage/Duration of Secondary Effects" skill property.

Properties

• The chance bonus stacks with any bonuses from items, though there are diminishing returns.

• Mastering the skill increases the Effects' damage and duration, once they are triggered.

• Multiple effects can be triggered on a single hit, but only the "first" will get a graphical effect. Using certain Combat Arts that cause Secondary Effects can trigger multiple Effects per hit.

• A monster can be affected by multiple effects simultaneously, until their duration runs out.

Breakpoints

• The bonuses are increased in steps as shown in the Damage Lore full table.

The Increase in Effectiveness mastery bonus at a given skill level x is given fairly precisely by the following formulas:

• 450*(x-32.5)/(x+66) + 100

The bold marked number is the smallest upper bound of this progression, which will never at any skill level be exceeded.

As an example, effectiveness increase value at x=75:

450*(75-32.5)/(75+66) + 100 = 450*42.5/141 + 100 = 235.64

This value compared with the table value is a good example of the precision the formula offers.
