Notes
- The DoT affect only damages those who stay within the area. The ground gives off a "pulse" of additional fire damage that burns all standing above the effect. Those that wander out suffer no additional damage, and those that you missed on the initial casting take damage if they later wander into the spell's area of effect. The borders of the effect are very clear; the ground is laced with veins of red hot energy.

Tips and Tactics
- It's difficult to have a situation where targets stay in the affected area, since they usually get mad at you and run out of the area to let you know how they feel about massive fire damage. To get the full DoT effect (which is almost half of the spell's total damage) you'll need to cast this spell and then run into the pack of things you just angered.
- This sounds suicidal, but is a common tactic. Mages with [Improved Arcane Explosion] and [Blast Wave] are very very nasty up close.
- Another possiblity is to snare or root your targets somehow. You might think that [Frost Nova] would help here, but since its rooting effect has a chance to break when the target takes damage, it isn't perfect.
