Spells

Elemental Flare is an effect that deals magic (see Bugs) and shock damage to the target. Each version of the effect consists of a magic blast that deals <mag> damage in 15 feet, in addition to tapering damage for 2 seconds (approximately 20% of the base damage). The initial blast is then followed by a 15 foot shock explosion which deals varying amounts of damage depending on the spell. This shock explosion then creates a shock hazard which deals 15 points of shock damage over 1 second.
