Description

You growl the huffing, chuffing, stanzas of this spell in a deep throaty voice, before sending form a raging ball of fire as big as your head to explode in a fiery maelstrom. The ball of fire explode unerringly where you direct it, as long as you have line of sight and line of effect to that square.

The ball explodes into massive gouts of heavy, almost liquid flame, red and smoky. All creatures wholly or partially in the area of effect must make a saving throw as defined above. Those who fail their save take (Circle 6 damage): 1d6+2 points of damage per character level (max 16d6+32 at character level 16) of fire (energy, common) damage, and gain the Burned condition, dealing fire damage. Those who make their save take only half damage, and are Singed.

If the creatures affected by this spell already have the Burned condition from a prior casting of this spell, they receive a -3 penalty on their saving throw and the Burned condition is increased to Immolated, save or not, dealing yet more fire. If the creatures affected by this spell already have the Singed condition from a prior casting of this spell, they receive a -1 penalty to their saving throw and the Singed condition is escalated to Burned if they make the save, and Immolated if they fail the save. Casting this spell on creatures suffering from the Immolated condition from two or more prior castings of this spell does not penalize the save, but if the save is failed, they gain Vulnerable to fire for the rest of the encounter.

-| Description = You blast several enemies with beams of fire. You may fire three [[ray]]s, plus one additional ray for every four levels beyond 11th (to a maximum of five rays at 19th level). Each ray requires a ranged [[Touch Attack]] to hit and deals 4d6 points of [[Fire Damage]]. The rays may be fired at the same or different targets, but all rays must be aimed at targets within 30 feet of each other and fired simultaneously.
+| Description = You growl the huffing, chuffing, stanzas of this spell in a deep throaty voice, before sending form a raging ball of fire as big as your head to explode in a fiery maelstrom.  The ball of fire explode unerringly where you direct it, as long as you have line of sight and line of effect to that square.
+: The ball explodes into massive gouts of heavy, almost liquid flame, red and smoky.  All creatures wholly or partially in the area of effect must make a saving throw as defined above.  Those who fail their save take {{circle|6}} of {{dmg|fire}} damage, and gain the [[Burned]] condition, dealing fire damage. Those who make their save take only half damage, and are [[Singed]].
+: If the creatures affected by this spell already have the Burned condition from a prior casting of this spell, they receive a -3 penalty on their saving throw and the Burned condition is increased to [[Immolated]], save or not, dealing yet more fire.  If the creatures affected by this spell already have the Singed condition from a prior casting of this spell, they receive a -1 penalty to their saving throw and the Singed condition is escalated to Burned if they make the save, and Immolated if they fail the save.  Casting this spell on creatures suffering from the Immolated condition from two or more prior castings of this spell does not penalize the save, but if the save is failed, they gain [[Glossary_of_Terms#Vulnerable | Vulnerable]] to fire for the rest of the encounter.
-: Every round on your turn, a new ray of fire launches from each creature who took damage from the spell in the previous round - these new rays attack as if you fired them, but their point of origin is the previous creature damaged. You can choose the new targets as a [[free action]], all of whom must be within close range (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) of their new starting point. This contagion of flame continues for a total of three rounds - a creature can be struck more than once by this spell over the course of these three rounds, although never by a ray of fire that launches from itself.
