Flame Wave is a Level 4 Conjuration/Fire Magic spell. It deals fire damage to adjacent creatures, gaining the Wave status in the process. Subsequent turns can be spent waiting (hitting '.' or tab). This costs 1 MP; the spell is cast again, dealing the same damage, but growing in radius by one. This can be done twice, for a total spell cost of 6 MP. Changing position by any method (whether by moving, blinking, teleporting, or being moved by monster attacks like trample or Primal Wave) will interrupt Flame Wave.
Fire Elementalists start with this spell in their library. Vehumet will allow this spell to be channeled an additional time, hitting everything within 4 tiles from the caster.
Strategy
- Don't get too greedy. While this spell is both damage-heavy and MP-efficent when dealing with adjacent enemies, keep in mind that they'll be striking you every time.
- An amulet of the acrobat will improve your EV while you channel the spell, which can help with survivability.
