The Wizard quickly reacts to a possibly unknown enemy by converting magical power into fire. However, his body is burned down in the process. External fire resistances do not work with this spell. Only natural fire resistances work. Also, no metamagic feats can be applied to this spell.
The amount of magical power released is uncontrolled and dangerous. The damage to the caster and all creatures within 5ft is calculated as follows: 1d16 fire damage per caster level.
The spellcaster can attempt to control the caster level used to launch this spell (before any rolls take place). For every ability point in intelligence, the spellcaster can remove a caster level from the spell. Therefore, a 20 intelligence mage can remove 5 caster levels.
This spell is always cast at a minimum caster level of 9. Creatures within 30ft take half damage.
