Ignition is a level 8 Fire Magic spell which creates a 3x3 fireball (somewhat weaker than the Fireball spell) around every enemy in sight. Explosions do not harm the user or their allies. All explosions are created instantly; even if an enemy would die from an explosion, it still creates an explosion.

Strategy

While Ignition deal less damage than Fireball against lone targets, it hits every enemy on the screen, and the explosions can overlap. This makes it a great spell against groups (that are not resistant to fire).

  • Great in naturally packed areas, like Vaults:5, the Tomb, or later floors of a Ziggurat.
  • Since Ignition works against summoned creatures, it is good against summoners like mummy priests.
  • Works great on the Royal Jelly. Once a few jellies have spilled out, just 2-3 casts are enough to kill TRJ and most of its allies. Just watch out for rockslimes afterwards, who take little from Ignition.

Tips & Tricks

  • Allies are never harmed by this spell, making it desirable when using allies that are not protected from friendly fire (such as Summonings, Necromancy, and Beogh followers).

History

  • Ignition was added in 0.20.
