So, when near lava, tyrants are 3.5x as likely to cast either of the two spells. (Eruption can still be used if you're surrounded by lava, and being unable to cast a spell doesn't make other spells more likely.)</ref>

 **Unfortunately, Eruption can create lava around you. Since it has a chance to create lava for each ''empty'', adjacent tile, standing in a hallway reduces the chance of lava being created. However, unless you are [[flying]], being in hallway increases your chance of getting trapped.
 *Having [[fire resistance]] will reduce their damage output significantly. Eruption ignores 50% of your fire resistance, though Pyroclastic Surge is affected normally by fire resistance.
