[[Ability]] Type: [[Spell]], Difficulty 20 
Provided By: [[Advanced Pyrokinetics]]

Spell Type: [[Elemental Magic|Elemental]], [[Fire Magic|Fire]] 
[[Spell Attributes|Form]]: [[Enchanted Item]]/[[Direct Touch]] (contact with item required when casting), Aura 
Function: Offensive 
[[Power Cost]]: 2 to 8 
[[Spell Duration|Duration]]: [[Conditionally Maintainable]] (spell ends after trap goes off) 

This versatile spell places a pressure-sensitive explosive ward on the surface of an object, useful both for placing traps or for enhancing the damage of a projectile. The rune reacts to any sudden change in pressure (such as being trodden on, or the object it is placed on being thrown against a hard surface) by triggering an explosion of fire. If a Fire Rune is placed on a weapon or projectile, its own damage takes precedence over that normally done by the base item – with the spell inflicting full damage but the physical attack that triggered it suffering from a -1 [[DC]] modifier.

The Caster’s touch will not activate the spell, but anyone else touching the rune must make a [[Stats|Dex]] + [[Spellcasting (Skill)|Spellcasting]] check equal to, or greater than, the spell’s Casting Total in order to avoid setting it off. The Caster may choose to disable or re-enable the rune’s detection abilities at any time – although this requires touch. If, for some reason, the ward goes off whilst the Caster is within its area of effect he takes damage as normal.

Blast Damage: [[Power]] x 15 [[Explosive Damage|Explosive]] 
Blast Volume: Sphere with radius of 1.5m x Power 
Blast [[Illumination]]: 1 x Power 
Damage Penalty for Base Item: -1 DC
