Fire damage

Fire damage is one of the 10 main damage types of the game, typically inflicted by spells or on-hit effects caused by weapons like the Flail of Ages. A weapon would cause Physical damage provided it goes through Armor Class, and then an additional effect could add elemental damage.

Many spells are based on fire, as well as some abilities, and items may deal bonus or even pure fire damage.
=== Spells ===
Due to their purpose of healing and supporting, the arsenal of fire-based spells is much smaller for priests than for wizards.
