How it plays
Fire/Poison magic covers areas with attacks that continue damaging enemies over time. Applying and stacking those ongoing effects sets up the class's explosive payoff. Its introduction emphasizes the relationship between repeated damage and a later burst of destruction.
Choosing this class
Consider Fire/Poison if layered damage effects sound more interesting than a single isolated spell. Both staves and wands are listed as supported weapons for this Intelligence-based Explorer mage.
