The official GemStone IV encyclopedia.
Steam critical table:
Steam is a combinative damage type caused by the interaction of the two elements, fire and water. The damaging effects of steam can occur from specially infused flaring weapons, spells such as Nature's Fury (635) when appropriate climate and terrain conditions exist, and from environmental effects.
The damage values (hit points) associated with the critical ranks in this table are from CS based attacks and/or weapon flares.
