'''Balefire''' is a [[Plasma critical table|plasma]]-based [[Bolt|ball-type]] aimed spell. Like other aimed spells, Balefire uses the [[Spell Aiming]] skill, [[Dexterity]] bonus, and other magical factors, such as [[Elemental Targeting (425)]] and [[Curse (715)]] (Curse of the Star), to calculate [[Attack Strength]]. A successful hit has the potential to injure multiple targets. [[Multi-Opponent Combat]] skill will increase the minimum number of targets struck. [[Sorcerous Lore, Demonology]] skill will increase the maximum number of targets struck as well as increase the spell's [[Damage Factor]].

In addition, if the caster has a [[minor demon]] present, the demon can (involuntarily) contribute damage to the initial target of the spell. The chance that the demon will do so is improved with the caster's skill in [[Spiritual Mana Control]] and [[Elemental Mana Control]]. If the demon contributes damage, it will lose two [[mana point]]s in doing so. The demon can only contribute damage if it has at least two mana points stored. The type of damage done by the demon depends on its native [[valence]].
