Lamp of fire

Version 0.13: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

Type	Miscellaneous item
Name	lamp of fire
Icon

A magical lamp inhabited by benevolent fire spirits. Unlatching the case sets the spirits free to dance about in a blaze upon the bearer's enemies. Once released, the spirits within this device will dissipate, leaving it inert, though new ones may be attracted as its bearer battle through the dungeon and grows in wisdom and power.

A lamp of fire is an evocable item which allows you fire powerful gouts of flame at your opponents. You may choose a target tile, and up to three blasts of flame will be launched in that general direction, generating flame clouds along their path and up to three fire elementals near the target. The higher your Evocations skill, the more damage the flames will deal and the more likely you are to get multiple fire elementals.

History

Prior to 0.13, this item simply allowed you to summon fire elementals one at a time from flaming clouds or lava.

Prior to 0.9, it appeared unidentified as a blazing lamp.
