Weave Fire

Spell — see Magic and Spellcasting for the rules and the Spell Index for the full list.

Arcane 3 Type: elemental (fire), wall

Range: 180’ Duration: 2 turns

This spell allows the caster to manipulate an existing volume of fire into a different shape. In order to weave fire, the caster must concentrate. The concentrating caster can move up to 1,000 cubic feet of fire by up to 100’ each combat round. The caster does not need to maintain concentration to sustain the spell. For instance, he can concentrate for one round to weave fire, take another action the following round, and then resume weaving fire subsequent round.

The caster cannot weave fire carried or held by creatures or in which there are creatures already, nor can he weave it to impact creatures. He cannot affect a carried torch, for instance, nor can he weave fire straight into an enemy. In addition, the fire cannot be woven to be less than 1” thick and it must eventually merge with the fire’s kindling source. Subject to those limitations, the caster can weave the fire into almost any shape he desires. If the caster has a relevant Art or Craft proficiency, he can even weave the fire into fiery sculptures with intricate detail. When the spell expires, the fire sputters out wherever there is not appropriate fuel and thereafter burns as a natural fire.

If woven to at least 6” thickness, woven fire will block vision, and if woven to 1’ thickness, it will block both vision and light. Due to the enchantments placed up on it, the woven fire is impenetrable to monsters with fewer than 5 HD. Monsters with 5 or more HD suffer 1d6 extraordinary fire damage if they pass through the fire. Weave fire does not create the fire itself, so it must be cast on a bonfire, forest fire, etc.
