Inner Flame is a level 3 Hexes/Fire Magic spell which gives a monster the Inner Flame status. This spell can be countered by magic resistance. On death, this monster will explode like Fireball, dealing 3d20 fire damage to all adjacent squares and leaving clouds of fire. Giant and huge monsters deal more damage and have a radius 2 explosion. If a corpse would be created by the exploding monster, chunks get strewn about instead as with a wand of disintegration.
Strategy
Used correctly, you can deal tremendous damage to multiple enemies early in the game with Inner Flame. Used incorrectly, you'll probably blow yourself to bits.
