Focus your mind and launch a flaming projectile that deals magic damage equal to 400% of Magic Attack Power to all units within range.
Damage increases by Burning stacks on the target * 10.

This attack can also damage allies.

Effects & keywords

  • Burning: 3 magic damage per stack, every second, ignoring defense and shields (flat, does not scale with attack power; stacks up to 50). Example: 10 stacks = 30 magic damage/second. Duration is set by the applying skill.
