 A '''lamp of fire''' is an [[Evocable items#elementalevokers|elemental evoker]] which allows you to fire powerful, semi-controlled gouts of flame at your opponents. When evoked, you may choose a target tile, and up to three blasts of flame will be launched in that general direction, generating flame [[cloud]]s along the path to the target. At low [[Evocations]] skill, this will likely create a single weak bolt of flame, but at higher skill levels you can deal surprisingly high amounts of damage and leave much of the battlefield engulfed in flames.

+Using this item depletes it, rendering it inert, but it will recharge each time you gain sufficient [[experience]] while it is in your possession.
 Carrying multiple lamps is no more useful than carrying one, since evoking one causes all lamps, both carried and stashed, to become temporarily inert.
