Flaming Familiar

Summons a burning familiar that charges the nearest enemy and explodes.

Flaming Familiar (Conjure Flaming Familiar) summons a fiery wolf that runs at the nearest enemy and blows up like a homing fireball. It can be summoned unusually far away and, oddly, costs less than the Novice-level Conjure Familiar.

Tips

The explosion can hurt you and your allies if you’re too close. Because it can’t be banished or turned, it’s useful against enemy necromancers and conjurers.
