'''Fire Spirit''' conjures a ball of fire that can be aimed at a target or sent up into the sky.


When cast at a target, Fire Spirit is a [[bolt spell]]. [[Spell Aiming]] is the most important skill in determining whether the spell successfully hits. If the ball of fire hits the target, the target will experience damage from the initial hit as well as elemental critical damage as a result of the explosion. The explosion can result in splash damage to other targets in the room (randomly up to 8 targets by default, modified by [[Spiritual Lore, Summoning]] and [[Multi Opponent Combat]]). The severity of the secondary splash critical is partly dependent on caster/target level difference.
'''Fire Spirit''', in its utility form (unaimed), will send a bright ball of flame high up into the sky that can be seen by anyone standing outside in the realm.


When [[open cast|cast without a target]], this spell will send a bright fiery ball into the sky, which can be seen by anyone standing outside. Do this only when standing outside or it will rebound on you!
If Fire Spirit is targeted at a player or creature then it becomes a bolt spell similar to [[Major Fire (908)|Major Fire]]. If the target is hit successfully then the ball will explode doing initial damage and added [[Fire critical table|fire]] [[Critical|critical]] damage due to the fiery explosion. The explosion can cause bits of flaming debris to fall on up to 8 other targets in the room.


{{Usage-channel|s=111}}
As with all bolt spells, [[Spell Aiming]] is the most crucial skill for the targeted version. Also, [[Multi Opponent Combat]] can increase the odds that the explosion hits multiple targets in the room; however, it is not required.
* Fire Spirit may be [[open cast]] to send a bright ball of flame high up into the sky that can be seen by anyone standing outside in the local realm


==Bolt Spell Table==
Training in [[Spiritual Lore, Summoning]] will increase the spell's [[Damage factor|damage factor]] .001 per rank for the first 50 ranks and .0005 per rank for ranks above 50. It will also increase the maximum number of possible targets that the caster is able to hit beyond the initial 8. At the minimum, 1 rank is required to increase the maximum number of targets by one, while a max of 190 ranks is required to increase the maximum number of targets possible to the max of 19.

===Damage Factor Increase===

Ranks in [[Spiritual Lore, Summoning]] will increase the spell's [[Damage Factor]] (DF) according to the table below.

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: center;"
|-
! Summoning Lore Ranks
! DF Increase
|-

|-
| 51 to 100
| 0.001 per two ranks
|-
| 101 to 200
| 0.001 per four ranks
|}

Note: Damage factor truncates at three decimal places.

For example, with 126 ranks of SL: Summoning the DF increase is:
<div style="margin-left: 2em;">
(50 * 0.001) + (50/2 * 0.001) + [[trunc]](26/4) * 0.001) = 0.081 not 0.0815

Fire Spirit conjures a ball of fire that can be aimed at a target or sent up into the sky.

When cast at a target, Fire Spirit is a bolt spell. Spell Aiming is the most important skill in determining whether the spell successfully hits. If the ball of fire hits the target, the target will experience damage from the initial hit as well as elemental critical damage as a result of the explosion. The explosion can result in splash damage to other targets in the room (randomly up to 8 targets by default, modified by Spiritual Lore, Summoning and Multi Opponent Combat). The severity of the secondary splash critical is partly dependent on caster/target level difference.

When cast without a target, this spell will send a bright fiery ball into the sky, which can be seen by anyone standing outside. Do this only when standing outside or it will rebound on you!

Usage

  • PREP 111 | CAST {target} or INCANT 111 to cast this spell
  • PREP 111 | CHANNEL {target} to channel the spell for additional damage/critical strength, incurring 3 sec. of hard RT
  • INCANT 111 CHANNEL to channel this spell once using INCANT
  • INCANT SET CHANNEL 111 to always channel this spell using INCANT 111
  • Fire Spirit may be open cast to send a bright ball of flame high up into the sky that can be seen by anyone standing outside in the local realm

Skill Benefits

Fire Spirit can be improved by Spiritual Lore, Summoning and Multi Opponent Combat.

Damage Factor Increase

Ranks in Spiritual Lore, Summoning will increase the spell's Damage Factor (DF) according to the table below.

Summoning 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

Note: Damage factor truncates at three decimal places.

For example, with 126 ranks of SL: Summoning the DF increase is:

(50 * 0.001) + (50/2 * 0.001) + trunc(26/4) * 0.001) = 0.081 not 0.0815

Potential Splash Targets

The number of targets hit by a ball spell is determined by the following calculation using Spiritual Lore, Summoning and Multi Opponent Combat (MOC):

  • Lore Skill Modifier = (1 + √8 * [Spiritual Lore, Summoning Ranks] - 7) / 2
  • First Roll is a random number from 0 to 8
  • Second Roll is a random number from 0 to [First Roll + Lore Skill Modifier]
  • The number of targets is the smaller number of [First Roll + Lore Skill Modifier] and [Second Roll + MOC Ranks].

(As such, training in Spiritual Lore, Summoning contributes to both of the values from which the smaller number is chosen.)

Spiritual Lore, Summoning ranks 0 1 2 4 7 11 16 22 29 37 46 56
Possible additional splashes 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
Spiritual Lore, Summoning ranks 67 79 92 106 121 137 154 172 191 211 232
Possible additional splashes 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22

Channeled Bolt Spell

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.
