I found a scroll with this at the pawnshop, went up to pinefar to test it out on the swarms there. I have to say that overall I wasn't impressed. I only flared about once a minute and only flared on fire-weak things for around 15ish points of damage. It honestly wouldn't be worth the bother of invoking a scroll to use.

If the frequency I noticed wasn't a fluke I'd like to see the duration increased 10-30 minutes so that it's at least worth the time it takes to invoke the scroll. If it stays at 4 minutes then the frequency or damage should be significantly increased.

One thing I can tell you, is that it can deal a nasty crit and stun to a PC.

Yeah; it's not player friendly, so invoking it in town is a bad idea. In fact, invoking it in a busy hunting area will not win you any friends either. It's a poorly implemented spell, and hardly worth using.


"So, what does that green line on the graph represent?"

"Oh, that's the projection of a hypothetical offspring from a union between Sauron and Cruella de Ville; we use that as a baseline for determining character alignment."

Hehe!

At least we were in a safe place. My worst misadventure with 1706 was actually inside the Rift. Sot and Rahsh were hunting on plane one, and I had cast Aura for some reason without thinking of the group hide mechanics. He hides and stalks me, we move one room forward, he ambushes a Vvrael witch and legs it. The acid spray from the limb crit severs Rahsh's leg, and because we're now un-grouped my flaming aura flares and severs his leg.

Leaving all three of us stunned, legged, dazed from the screen-scroll and wondering what the heck just happened...

>Hehe, now that is a good story. - Adam

Any story that results in you lying down in a daze and wondering how you got there... Probably a good story.

Not the bronze squares, that was a different spell.

Oh, what I meant to comment on was that I think the red/blue flaming aura showed up in rubbable triangles.
And they were never PC-friendly.
And they had an incredibly long wait-time.
And they frequently struck at already-dead creatures.
All of which made them essentially useless.

I've been playing around with this spell a lot recently... I kind of like it. I've one hit killed seekers with it, and often stuned things that put me into roundtime.

Also, it does not seem to attack players where justice is active. I can leave it on all day in the town center of icemule, and no burnt empaths! I did get a few shocked looks the first time I lit myself on fire, though.
