Fireball is a level 5 Conjurations/Fire Magic spell which launches an exploding bolt of fire at the targeted tile, dealing fire damage to everything caught in the ensuing 3×3 explosion. It is an excellent mid-game attack spell, allowing you to rapidly wipe out clusters of enemies.

Player-launched fireballs do

calc_dice(3, 10 + power / 2)

damage, which is less than Bolt of Fire but still respectable.

Fireball is also unique in that learning it will consume zero spell slots if you already have Delayed Fireball memorized. This does not let you exceed the hard limit of 20 spells total.
