Description
- You point dramatically at a source of flame, ranging from a single candle you hold up to a size Medium blaze, and you loudly berate the flame for its lack of ambition, magic freighting your words. At the culmination of your scolding, the fire erupts.
- Pyrotechnics turns a fire into a burst of blinding fireworks, leaving behind a dense column of black smoke. The spell uses one fire source, which is immediately extinguished. Magical fires or fire-based creatures are not usable for this spell.
- Fireworks: The fireworks are a flashing, fiery, momentary burst of glowing, colored aerial lights that fill all squares within 15 feet of the source flame. This effect inflicts (Circle 1 damage): 1d6 points of damage per character level (max 4d6 at character level 4) of fire (energy, common) damage, and causes affected creatures to become dazzled. A saving throw as above will reduce the damage by half, but does not affect the dazzle. These creatures must have line of sight to the fire to be affected.
- Smoke Cloud: A stream of smoke billows up from the fire, forming a dense column one square wide that is up to 20 feet high. All sight, even darkvision, is ineffective in or through the column. All within the smoke gain partial concealment.
- A moderate wind (11+ mph) disperses and dispels the effect in 2 rounds; a strong wind (21+ mph) disperses and dispels the effect in 1 round. The spell effect cannot penetrate liquids, nor can it be cast underwater or in other fluids. Other Environmental Effects may disperse or enhance it at the GM's discretion.
- This spell is subject to dispersal by Dispersing spells. Dispersing spells contain vigorous winds, fresh air, air currents, or other effects. Squares of this spell's effect which intersect with a Dispersing spell's squares of effect are dispelled, but all other squares remain. The GM adjudicates all unusual circumstances.
