Constructs a flying incendiary factory, packed to the brim with cluster bomblets which it can deploy both in melee and launch at range. While the monarch's bomblets have no attack of their own, they will pursue the caster's enemies until given the signal to explode. Recasting this spell while anything created by is still active will detonate the monarch bomb and all bomblets, dealing a combination of fire and physical damage to everything adjacent to them besides the caster themselves.

Forge Monarch Bomb is a level 6 Fire/Forgecraft spell that summons a Monarch Bomb, which has the ability to deploy a large number of Bomblets via its melee attack (or at range with the Launch Bomblet spell). These bomblets are mobile, but have no melee attacks and cannot be ordered around.

However, when the player recasts the spell, all active bomblets and the monarch bomb itself will detonate, dealing half-physical/half-fire damage to all adjacent targets (and destroying themselves). The caster is immune to the explosions.
