What exactly would colorless fire look like? Is grey? Or is it invisible, like when alchohol burns? That could be a handy spell, say, in wall form.

Jun 10, 2005 13:24:11 There is an epic spell called colorless fire (IIRC) in the Epic Level Handbook. I don't remember how detailed the description is, but the spell is obviously based on the Rain of Colorless Fire. The spell itself will level more than a city block.

Do you mean rain of fire? It says nothing about the color (or lack thereof) of the fire.

Jun 11, 2005 9:29:27 I think colorless fire should be grey. If it were invisible fire, they could have called it rain of invisible fire(or unseen fire, whatever).

Or does grey count as a color?

I always imagined shimmering heatwaves.

Me too. Flickering distortions in the air, burning and melting everything it touches.

Yea, I meant rain of fire. I didn't have my books on me at the time I posted. You are probably right about the description though. I don't recall for certain whether it stated anything about the color of the fire. However, I'm still fairly certain this spell was modeled after the RoCF.

Count me in as supporting this notion, too. Like the heat waves rising off of a scorching landscape.

Perhaps there were literal drops, like watery rain, that accompanied the descending inferno. Except, it was not water, but superheated droplets of plasma that ignited in explosive bursts upon impact. Blown out of control by the waves of heat, that themselves were magnifed in temperature as firestorms raged.

Sounds terrible.

Jun 17, 2005 15:28:44 I've always thought it was made up of greyish colored wisps of flame that fell to the ground, not burning, but sucking the life out of anything and everything it touched, leaving the grey lifeless husks of plants, animals, and pretty much anything else behind, to break apart and cover the area in a fine grey dust that can never support life, or may even continue to suck the life out of anything that enters the sea of dust (but at a much reduced rate).
