Useful Info

Fire vortices are swirling clusters of flame that move and attack randomly for 15-24 fire damage that ignores half of your AC. Although they do move fast, they rarely move in any productive direction, and are only a threat if you lack a means of fighting at range. They are extremely rare, only occurring naturally in the volcano and some vaults.

Tips & Tricks

• You (and some enemies) can create your own fire vortexes as a side effect of the Fire Storm spell.
