Minor Fire is a powerful elemental bolt spell that empowers the caster with the ability to hurl a stream of fire at a foe. It is one of the primary attack spells in a wizard's arsenal and can be especially effective when cast at creatures that are susceptible to fire damage, notably members of the troll family. Although not the most powerful elemental attack spell available to wizards, it is effective in most situations and often provides the best results for the mana required to cast it.

The attack strength (AS) for this spell is primarily a function of the caster's spell aiming skill and dexterity bonus, although other spells, such as Elemental Focus (513) and Elemental Targeting (425), can add significantly to its effectiveness. Successful attacks will cause the target to sustain hitpoint damage and fire-based critical injuries.

Lore Benefits

Damage Factor Bonus

Training in Elemental Lore, Fire increases the spell's damage factor (DF).

Fire Lore Ranks	DF Increase
1 to 50	0.001 per rank
51 to 100	0.001 per two ranks
101 to 200	0.001 per four ranks

The total DF increase with 200 ranks EL, Fire lore is 0.100.

Fire Critical Bonus

Training a minimum of 10 ranks of Elemental Lore, Fire will unlock a percentage chance equal to (skill bonus ÷ 5) to ignite the target. Activation will result in 2 additional rounds of fire critical injuries (no additional hitpoint damage). Base chance with 10 ranks is 10% (50 skill ÷ 5).

• The effect lasts for 10 seconds and the ignite damage occurs every 5 seconds.
• This ability does not work on targets already on fire through Immolation (519).
• The spells Minor Water (903) and Holy Bolt (306) will remove this effect from the target.

% chance to activate = trunc(Elemental Lore, Fire skill bonus ÷ 5)

Elemental Lore, Fire ranks	10	15	20	25	40	60	80	100	140	180	202	252
Chance for ignition	5%	14%	18%	21%	28%	32%	36%	40%	48%	56%	60%	70%

Channel Damage

CHANNELing a bolt spell imposes a 3 second hard roundtime in exchange for a higher chance of hitting a vital area and subjects the attack to less critical randomization. The critical randomization floor is raised by 1-2 ranks (depending on the actual critical) and the chance to hit every location is the same at 7.7%.

When a bolt is CAST/EVOKEd without CHANNELing, it has a little over 16% chance to hit the eyes, head, or neck. A CHANNELed bolt has over a 30% chance. Most of those locations will also result in a critical kill for ranks as low as 5 or 6, while it will take 7+ against the chest, abdomen, or back. If it is determined to be a rank 9 critical wound, critical randomization can lower that all the way down to a rank 5 (typically non-lethal against vital spots). If the same bolt is CHANNELed for the same rank 9 critical wound, crit randomization will not lower it less than a rank 7 (typically lethal against vital spots).

The roundtime imposed by channeling cannot be reduced by haste effects.
