When using this spell, the ground beneath the target suddenly becomes molten. There is a chance of doing immediate direct damage to the leg area. This may cause the target to fall and receive a number of more serious injuries.

Although other spells can achieve similar ends, Boil Earth is more difficult to cast because it requires precise control to affect a single selected target instead of the more diffuse targets of area spells which affect friend and foe alike.

With increased training in Elemental Lore, Earth, the caster is better able to manipulate the earth, possibly hitting additional targets. The chance for a second strike is equal to the caster's Earth Lore skill, and the chance for a third strike is equal to the caster's Earth Lore skill minus 100. The strength of these hits with relation to the original hit with vary, but it can be increased with additional training in Elemental Lore, Fire. Each additional strike will drain 5 Mana Points.
