Ignition is a level 8 Fire Magic spell which creates a 3x3 fireball (somewhat weaker than the Fireball spell) around every enemy in sight. This spell is more effective when 2 or more enemies are next to each other, as the explosions will overlap. An explosion will still be created on a square if an enemy dies as a result of a previous explosion.

Tips & Tricks

  • This spell is great for clearing large packs of non fire resistant monsters.
  • While each explosion does less damage than fireball, chaining multiple explosions together can result in much more damage
  • Against single targets, a simple Fireball is more effective
