How to learn

Granted by the equipment:

• Necklace of Elemental Augmentation

Notes

• Elemental Augmentation functions by checking the cantrip being cast for a specific DamageType flag (such as Fire or Lightning) rather than the actual damage type listed for the cantrip or the damage type dealt when hitting a target. This means that 'added' damage – such as that from  Lightning Charges – does not trigger the necklace's effect, because these external bonuses lack the necessary flags. Consequently, the necklace only works with cantrips which natively deal the correct damage types, and does not work with cantrips which erroneously lack a DamageType flag, like  Booming Blade.
  • There are no cantrips in the game with a DamageType of Thunder.
• Elemental Augmentation stacks with the  Elemental Affinity: Damage feature for most Draconic Bloodline Sorcerers (except for those with green dragon ancestry, which increases Poison damage). In this case, the wearer's Charisma modifier is added to the damage of the relevant cantrips twice.
• When multiclassing, Elemental Augmentation uses the spellcasting ability modifier of the last class added, not necessarily the spellcasting ability of the class which granted the cantrip.
  • The minimum additional damage is 1, even if the character's spellcasting ability modifier is less than 1.
•  Hellflame Cleave deals two instances of damage, which both receive the bonus damage from Elemental Augmentation.
• The following cantrips receive bonus damage from Elemental Augmentation:
