Changes

The drawbacks are fairly low damage, especially to targets behind the front row, and the fact that the Wizard is stuck in place while casting it.

==[[Synergies]]==

* [[Glass Cannon]]: Increases damage done by spells and increases armor.

* [[Intimidation]]: Increases damage done and reduces vendor costs.

* [[Power Surge]]: Increase critical strike damage.

* [[Penetrating Spells]]: Reduces the resistances of your target to your spells by 20%.

::''It doesn’t actually feel anything like fire in-game. The screenshots don't really give a good impression of the way it looks and acts. In a screenshot you may think… well it has a lot of colors of fire, but in motion you just don’t get that impression. It comes across as a red-dominated skill. And the sound of the ability actually plays a huge part in how it feels, and it feels like a very focused and powerful energy beam.''

<blockquote>''Very useful blasting, instant speed to the edge of the level, but it requires a clear line or sight, and it holds the Wizard in place while using it. Smart Wizards I saw used it a lot, but in bursts. Any time they had a clear shot they’d cook someone from a distance, ideally over one of the openings in the ground. The damage per second wasn’t huge, but it added up and was very easy to hit with.</blockquote>
