This spell fills an enemy with an intense fire, to be explosively released upon death. The size of the explosion caused is dependent on the size of the target.

Inner Flame is a level 3 Hexes/Fire Magic spell which gives a monster the Inner Flame status. This spell can be countered by magic resistance. On death, this monster will explode like Fireball, dealing 3d20 fire damage to all adjacent squares and leaving clouds of fire. Giant and huge monsters deal more damage and have a radius 2 explosion. If a corpse would be created by the exploding monster, chunks get strewn about instead as with a wand of disintegration.

Strategy

Used correctly, you can deal tremendous damage to multiple enemies early in the game with Inner Flame. Used incorrectly, you'll probably blow yourself to bits.
