Flame Wave is a Level 4 Conjuration/Fire Magic spell. It deals fire damage to adjacent creatures, then when channeled by hitting '.' (like Searing Ray), casts the spell again for 1 MP and an increasing radius. It can be channeled twice, for a total spell cost of 6 MP. Vehumet will allow this spell to be channeled an additional time, hitting everything within 4 tiles from the caster.

Changing position by any method (whether by moving, blinking, teleporting, or being moved by monster attacks like trample or Primal Wave) will interrupt Flame Wave.

Fire Elementalists start with this spell in their library.

Strategy

  • Don't get too greedy. While this spell is both damage-heavy and MP-efficent when dealing with adjacent enemies, keep in mind that they'll be striking you every time.
