Ignition is a level 8 Fire Magic spell which creates a 3x3 fireball (somewhat weaker than the Fireball spell) around every enemy in sight. This spell is more effective when 2 or more enemies are next to each other, as the explosions will overlap. An explosion will still be created on a square if an enemy dies as a result of a previous explosion.

Tips & Tricks

  • This spell is great for clearing large packs of non fire resistant monsters. Also, since Ignition affects summoned monsters too, this spell is good against summoners, e.g., mummy priests, when they are surrounded by allies.
  • While Ignition might have less single target damage than even Fireball, chaining multiple explosions together can result in much more damage. Naturally packed areas like the Tomb and a Ziggurat naturally like Ignition, as a result.

History

  • Ignition was added in version 0.20.
