 As it targets random creatures within range, Scorch often functions best in one-on-one fights. It deals good damage, and unlike [[Foxfire]], can be used in hallways without penalty. Note that it makes significant noise and will draw attention from nearby monsters.
-Scorch reduces your target's fire resistance, so stacking it with itself or other forms of Fire Magic like [[Foxfire]] or [[Conjure Flame]] can help you pile on the damage.

+===Tips & Tricks===
 *Like many other [[Fire Magic]] spells, Scorch will create [[steam]] [[clouds]] when used on targets in water. This combos particularly well with its fire resistance reduction, as fire vulnerability also affects damage from steam.
 *Scorch must deal damage to reduce fire resistance. It has no effect on enemies that are completely immune to fire, and may struggle to affect enemies with high [[AC]].
 ==History==
-*In [[0.30]], the damage will be nerfed from <code>2d(5 + power/10)</code> to <code>2d(5 + power/12)</code>.
+*Prior to [[0.30]], this spell did more damage, with a damage formula of <code>2d(5 + power/10)</code>.
 *This spell was added in [[0.28]].
