I also used it to immediately clear the vaults:5 entrance, but didn't record the combat log for that. These are both single casts. I did have a fire spellpower enhancer, and even had two for the seraph one

[duvessa]

wow a level 8 spell kills orcs in one cast, incredible

[bcadren]

Tasonir it's really good in Tomb too, versus any summoner really, but it shines in tomb because of all the summoners (when the summons are first spawned they are all right next to the summoner, so you can hit that one monster a fuckton of times), better chance of one-hitting Greater Mummies than even Firestorm.

[Croases]

Speaking of ignition, I just used this incredibly powerful, borderline broken spell to go through a ziggurat and it had this wonky behavior where, if you had death channel active, you could spawn hostile spectral things from enemies that died to a fireball and later got hit by another during the same turn.

That sounds like a bug to me. Is it?

[duvessa]

That death channel bug can happen with almost any spell that damages multiple targets: ignition, fireball, chain lightning, bolt of cold, etc. Death channel needs to be converted to a fineff like Infestation.

[Magipi]

The fireball engulfs the whatnot * 100

This is not good enough, we want an animgif.
