Blasts the caster's surroundings with a wave of fire. If the caster maintains focus and supplies the spell with magical power (by waiting in place and not taking any other actions), more and larger flame waves will radiate outward.

Flame Wave is a Level 4 Conjuration/Fire Magic spell. It burns adjacent creatures, then when channeled by hitting '.' (like Searing Ray), repeatedly hits enemies in an increasing radius. It is respectfully damaging and MP-efficient for the earlier Lair branches. But don't get too greedy trying to use its initial one-range.

Fire Elementalists start with this spell in their library.
