The caster is sheathed in flames for POW rounds. This may be extended by expending a point of energy per round for each additional round.

Creatures engaging the caster in melee combat take 1d4+POW points of fire damage.

Additionally, the flames produced by this spell may interact with the conflagration spell to further weaponized it.

Beyond the initial POW rounds, this spell requires a certain degree of concentration to maintain. During those additional rounds, the caster’s Gnosis and Power scores are each at an effective -1 for all other purposes.
