MM7: immolation does not work?

[kucing]

I tried casting immolation when being surrounded by undeads in turn based mode. After a few turns, none of the enemies get injured and the party does not move at all. According to the spell description, it should damage those monsters around me, but it does not!

So is it broken? I am using MOK's patch.

You have to be very close to enemy and they recive damage from this spell.
To check if the spell really work, cast it in city and go near peasant or guard - if spell work, you will "hit" them.

Yep thanks for that. Apparently the party has to be super close for it to work. The tick is also quite long. Another spell that can potentially be fun/useful becomes poor.

It is very tricky spell - especially in Celeste or Stone City - get to close to peasant and you have to fight with all city.

Yes, be very careful with the Immolation Spell. If your party has it active when you are near friendly creatures, they will turn hostile.

I had Immolation cast on my party & then went to Celeste (I was playing Light Path). An Angel Lord, flying too close, set off the spell and everyone in Celeste turned hostile. I had to reload my game and go sleep off the spell.

Doesn't sound good at all. At battle, the range is too short to hurt anyone and when in towns it can hurt villagers. Sounds like a very bad spell.

Never cast it, especially if you have a high skill level in Fire Magic.
