This spell fires a continuous ray of arcane energy from the caster's hands. Though initially mild, so long as the caster maintains focus upon the spell and supplies it with magical power, the ray will grow in strength until it becomes a surging beam able to tear clean through the ranks of the caster's foes.

Searing Ray is a level 2 Conjurations spell which fires a beam of energy that starts out weak, but grows in power over time. The caster gains a Ray status once they fire it, and each subsequent turn that they perform no other action, the searing ray refires along the original beam path. It will do this 3 times, each more powerful than the last, and at the most powerful stage, the ray becomes a penetrating beam. Each additional ray costs 1 MP.

Note that, in order to activate Searing Ray's additional effects, you must pass your turns after casting it once with the s or . key. Recasting the spell will simply start a new ray.
