Ability Description

A gout of flame sprays from your mouth, covering a pretty wide area with heat and haze.

Each creature in the chosen must make a Reflex saving throw. A creature takes 2d8 ⤴ fire damage on a Failed Save, or half as much damage on a Successful Save. If they Critically Fail, their movement is halved until the end of the turn.

The area lingers with searing heat for 1d8 rounds (ends at end-of-turn), though you can dismiss it before then. Creatures in the area must repeat the save if they failed, taking the damage and effects again on relevant saves.

Augmentation + other notes

⤴/Augment Up: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, increase the damage by 1d8 for each slot level above the 1st.
Augmented by Truename: When cast backwards, this spell and its lingering effect becomes Arctic Breath.
