===Flame=== *Control Flame 5+ The sorcerer takes mental control of a single fire. The fire is assumed to have some sort of size, which is on the same scale as for creatures. So, a size 10 fire is about as big as a normal lady. That probably equates to a sizable bonfire. For a character who is on fire, the fire is half the character's size. When the spell is cast, the caster can control a fire of size up to the total amount of mana generated. This "costs" only 5 of that mana. The remainder of the mana can be spent to affect duration, increase the number of targets, or increase control over the fire. For every 2 points of mana "spent" over the base 5, the caster can influence the size of the fire by 1 point. So, if she devotes 10 mana to controlling the fire above the default 5, she could raise or lower the size by up to 5. She can continue to adjust the size of the fire over the duration of the spell, but by no more than 2 points per round, and never beyond the range she paid for. Reducing a fire to size 0 extinguishes it, causing the spell to end immediately. If the fire moves outside of the caster's range, she can influence it back towards that range, but not away from it. While under the caster's control, the fire resists being extinguished, but concerted effort can still put it out, as can severe conditions. Effectively, the caster can "heal" the fire. *Burning Hands 16 You shoot forth a huge gout of fire from your hands, about 20 yards long and in a considerable arc. More or less everyone in the direction of your choice is lit on fire, though the spell does no direct damage. People with shields may roll against the value of their shield to escape the flames, unless they are using the shield in close combat or aren't holding it at all. Fumbling the casting of this spell means that a freak gust causes the flames to blow back in the wrong direction. *Fire Shield 12 This spells conjures a dancing flame around the caster. The flame has a skill of 15, and acts to defend the caster against attacks on its own volition. It will never attack, and it cannot be directed - if there are multiple attackers, the fire shield is divided as evenly as possible against them all. If the fire shield wins a combat roll, it does 3d6 damage, affected normally by armor, to the attacker. On a fumble, the shield goes out. On a crit, it ignites the attacker, but does not do double damage. On a tie, the fire shield counts as a sword. The fire shield cannot deal damage against attackers using magic, ranged weapons, or lances, halberds, or great spears. The spell operates independently of the caster, who may pursue other actions, but attackers may be struck only by the shield or the caster, and do not need to split their skill between them. For every extra 10 mana applied to this spell, the skill may be increased by 5, to a maximum of 25, or the damage may be increased by 1d6, to a maximum of 5d6. In any case, the fire shield is easily extinguished by water, or anything else which would extinguish a fire.
