Iskenderun's Mystic Blast (or IMB) is a level 4 Conjurations spell which strikes a single opponent with destructive energy, dealing moderate physical damage. It has good accuracy and excellent range, and there is a chance that the blast will explode upon striking its target, damaging nearby enemies in a starburst pattern as shown below:
X.X.X .XXX. XXOXX .XXX. X.X.X
The chance of this explosion occurring falls the farther away the target is from the caster. Regardless of position, this explosion cannot injure the caster.
Strategy
IMB is an excellent jack-of-all-trades combat spell. It is fairly cheap to cast, requires only a single skill to train, and can effectively damage any target regardless of resistances. Its explosion effect isn't reliable enough to make it a competitive area-of-effect spell, but all the same, it is still an admirable attack spell for the early- and mid-game. It suffers against durable, high AC opponents in the late game, however, but hopefully you'll gain access to Orb of Destruction or some high-level elemental spell long before you reach that point.
History
Prior to 0.11, IMB dealt more damage, but was unable to explode.
