Fire critical table

Fire critical table - Element: Fire

This is the critical table for the wizard spells Minor Fire (906) and Major Fire (908) and the arcane spell Firestorm (1715). The source of fire criticals is not limited to the two aforementioned spells. Other spells, various creature attacks, specially enhanced weapons, and environmental effects may cause fire damage injuries or death.

The damage values (hit points) associated with each message within this table are bolt AS based. CS based attacks that produce fire criticals will frequently have damage that differs from those listed here. Although the damage may increase/decrease for a particular crit rank, the associated injury ranks, stun rounds, knockdowns and instant deaths will not vary, except in cases where targets have special immunities or resistances to these status effects.
