Wall of Flames

Spray the ground to create a wall of fire – 50 damage per second.

Wall of Flames lets you paint a burning wall onto the ground. Anyone who crosses it takes 50 fire damage per second. Each wall lasts 30 seconds and you can have up to ten at once.

Tips

Augmented Flames doesn’t increase it, and the walls don’t hurt you or your followers. Rahgot’s Dragon Priest staff casts the same effect.
