Useful Info

Foxfires are magical entities created by casting the spell Foxfire. They will home in on monsters, dealing damage and destroying themselves in the process.

Tips & Tricks

• Foxfires are fleeting 'monsters'. Upon collision, or after 8 turns, they will dissipate harmlessly.
• Because foxfires technically count as creatures, this spell can help block line of effect to monsters with dangerous spells like Banishment, Petrify, or Malmutate. However, this is not as effective as simply summoning a meat shield, as foxfires move quickly and erratically and disappear once they strike something.
