Fireball, Icewind Dale 1

Fireball IWD1

Fireball is an IWD arcane spell in Black Isle's cRPG of 1999, Icewind Dale 1.

• Fireball (Evocation)
• Level 3 Arcane Spells IWD
• Range: Sight of Caster
• Duration: Instantaneous
• Casting Time: 3
• Area of Effect: 20-foot radius
• Saving Throw: 1/2
• Fireball is one of the reasons that mages gained acceptance in the field of adventuring. To cast it, the wizard points his finger and speaks the range (distance and height) at which the fireball is to burst. A streak flashes from the pointing digit and, unless it impacts upon a material body or solid barrier prior to attaining the prescribed range, blossoms into the fireball (an early impact results in an early detonation), delivering damage proportional to the level of the wizard who cast it: 1-6 points of damage for each level of the spellcaster (up to a maximum of 10-60). Those who roll successful saving throws manage to dodge, fall flat, or roll aside, taking only half damage.
