This impressive spell surrounds the caster and his equipment in an aura of flame that adds to his melee damage and burns anyone who succeeds in attacking him in melee. The caster himself and his clothes and equipment are immune to Flameshroud's damage, and he can suppress the effect temporarily in order to pick up or interact with items without burning them. Once picked up, anything he carries becomes immune to the effect. Both melee weapon and unarmed attacks are affected by Flameshroud's offensive and defensive abilities.

Damage Aura: Power x 8 Fire
Affected Volume: Caster and caster's equipment + 5cm aura
Illumination: 1/2 x Power (round up)
