Format: c fireball victim

A magical spell that deals damage to the victim with a fireball depending on the spell's level. If the victim successfully makes a spell defense check, the damage is halved.

A fireball also ignites and heats gear: wood, cloth, leather and paper can burn, wax can melt, and metal can go red-hot and burn its owner. Fireproof items do not catch fire, but red-hot metal and melting need heat protection on the item (thermostability); water or ice cools red-hot things (see heating). Fire can also blind the victim and make them thirsty.
