=== USER MANUAL === Usage: fireball <target> fireball <structure> fireball (while in combat -- targets current enemy) fireball (out of combat -- displays range on map) Description: Hurl a ball of supernatural fire at a target, engulfing them in flames. Fireball is a ranged combat ability exclusive to the Demon race (Specter class). It deals fire damage and has a chance to ignite the target. How It Works: When you use fireball, your Natural Abilities skill is rolled against the target's Evasion skill to determine the outcome: Hit: You hurl a fireball for 175 damage (fire) and have a 66% chance to apply the OnFire-1 DOT. You hurl a fireball at $N, engulfing $M in flames! Miss: The fireball misses. No damage is dealt. You hurl a fireball at $N but it misses! Fireball has a 6-second cooldown after each use, hit or miss. Costs 25 movement per cast. Range: 2 rooms. OnFire: On a successful hit, there is a 66% chance to set the target on fire with OnFire-1. While on fire: - You take 5% max HP damage every 1.5 seconds for 5 seconds. - "You are on fire!" Structure Targeting: Fireball can be used against durable objects in the room such as barricades, doors, and deployables. Deals 1 durability damage per hit. Range Display: Using fireball with no argument while out of combat displays your fireball range as a highlighted overlay on the overhead map. Specialization Nodes: After unlocking the base Fball node, you may choose one of two mutually exclusive specializations: Xball (Explosive Fireball) Changes damage type from fire to explosive. Adds an Explosion-1 combat effect that splashes 35% of the hit damage to all other enemies in the room. Pball (Plasma Fireball) Increases durability damage by +3 (total 4 per hit). Upgrades the DOT from OnFire-1 to OnFire-2 (8% max HP every 1 second for 7 seconds). Combat Behavior: - Using fireball outside of combat initiates combat with the target. - While already fighting, fireball with no argument targets your current opponent. - Cannot be used in peaceful rooms. - Cannot target yourself.
