Iskenderun's Mystic Blast (or IMB) is a level 4 Conjurations spell which instantaneously fires an orb of energy at a single target up to 7 tiles away, dealing moderate physical damage. This spell may cause an unavoidable explosion around the target, dealing damage to surrounding targets as well. The chance of explosion falls with distance. Fortunately, the explosion is always directed away from the caster, making it safe for use at point blank range. It has high accuracy, and its ability to deal damage to all enemies regardless of resistance makes it appealing to many casters.

History

Prior to 0.11, IMB dealt more damage, but was unable to explode.
