Normal attacks have an increased chance of doing a single extra fire damage attack each time you hit. A higher skill means a greater chance of gaining the extra hit, and a greater amount of damage done with the hit. If you are wielding a Fire weapon, the chance increases even more.
Firepower[]
Prerequisite: Fire Weapons
The Firepower skill causes your successful fire-based attacks to do more damage. This includes ALL fire damage attacks, such as attacks done by the Fire Weapons skill, Fire Ball, weapons with fire-based special powers, and fire-based damage shields. A higher skill means more damage..
Fire Ball[]
Prerequisite: Firepower
Every several rounds, you can cast a Fire Ball instead of attacking normally. The higher your skill in Fire Ball, the more damage the Fire Ball does, and the more often you can cast it.
Wall of Flame[]
Prerequisite: Fire Ball
Every time your opponent hits you, they take fire damage from a wall of flames.
A higher skill means the wall does more damage.
