Pyre of Onkh

Causes an item of wood or other reasonable fuel to burst violently into (mundane) flame and to be consumed in a matter of seconds (one second per pound weight). The item may not weigh more than one pound times the casters CSI (MS), twice this with CS. Persons/animals who touch the flame sustain a mundane burn impact of 3d6/4d6 (MS/CS).

The spell may be used to dispose of unwanted items, or to discommode a person holding/wearing an item of fuel, such as a wooden club. In the latter case, the effect can be extremely dramatic if the victim's clothes catch fire as well. A sustained burn (over 10 seconds) is capable of melting metals with reasonable low melting points.

Bonus Effects

CML70+: Maximum object weight is increased to CSI x 2 pounds (MS), twice this with CS.

Time: 15-CSI seconds
Range: CSI x 2 hexes
Duration: 1 second per pound of fuel
