Aura of Flaming Death envelops the caster in an aura of intense flames.

Description[]

This spell causes the caster to be enveloped by an aura of intense flame that both injures opponents and protects the caster from damage. This shield not only grants the user 90% Fire Resistance and an AC bonus of 4, but also protects him/her from attacks made within a 5-ft. radius. An opponent that hits the caster with any weapons or spells within this radius suffers 2d10+2 fire damage. In addition, the intense heat protects the caster from all non-magical weapons, melee or missile.

Gameplay[]

Damage done to opponents ignores their Magic resistance.

The retaliatory fire damage effect has a Power level of 4, and thus can be blocked by certain spell protections such as Globe of Invulnerability or Spell Deflection and others.

This spell can be removed by Dispel Magic effects or Breach.
