Duration: 20 turns or until dispelled
AoE: a pyramid made of flame, base 5x5 meters, hight 5 meters.

Wilhelmine's Disks of Flame
Level: 2
Range: 50 meters
Duration: 6 turns
AoE: one flaming sphere per 3 levels
This is a spell that simulates the effect of magic missile to some extent. When this spell is cast, flaming spheres 30cms (1') in diameter appear next to the caster and hover around her when she walks. One sphere is created for every 3 levels of the caster (1 at level 3, 2 at level 6 and so on...12 in level 36). the caster can hurl up to two spheres (one disk per hand) per round at any victim in range and they will automatically hit. Even if the victim is around a corner or behind a tree, the disks will hit if the caster knows the exact location of the target. The spheres can be hurled at one or two targets, as desired. Each sphere does 1d6 points of damage instantaneously (no save), and then ignite again the following round, delivering an additional 1d6 (save to negate damage).
See Through Fire
Level: 1
Range: 0 (caster only)
Duration: concentration
AoE: caster sees through fire
This spell allows the caster to see through fires and as if they were normal air. It will allow normal sight through Wall of Fire or Pyramid of Fire(see above) spells. It also negates the blindness caused by light or continual light spells.
Ignite Stone
Level: 3
Range: touch
Duration: 3 rounds
AoE: a mass of stone not larger than 3x3x3 meters
This spell will cause otherwise inflammable rock to burst into flames. The flames cause 1d6 points of damage per round if touched, and burns for 3 rounds. And after those 3 rounds the rock crumbles into dust. This is highly effective against castle walls. If cast against magical walls or rock based life forms, the target receives a save versus spells to avoid the disintegration.
Garnarr's Uncontrollable Forest Fire
Level: 9
Range: 10 meters (30')
Duration: special (see below)
AoE: one tree within range (and see below)
This is an ancient spell used in the wars of the fleams against the elves. After the wars ended the spell was forgotten, only to e found again by Garnarr Verlien, a Flaemish noble and arch-mage.
This spell when cast on a tree causes it to ignite in magical fleams in a matter of seconds. The fire passes on to every tree close to the first one as if it was a normal fire. This fire cannot be extinguished by anything. The fire is undispellable, and cannot be fought with water or sand. The fire cannot even be stopped by denying it of its air supply. Even after the tree doesn't have anything left to burn within it, the fire keeps on burning for 10 hours more. The only way to stop the magical forest fire from spreading is engulfing it with a regular fire that will burn the trees it needs to expand. The fire will also stop when it cannot expand anymore, like being blocked by a river or a road. IN any case the fire will keep on burning for an extra 10 hours even when there is nothing left to be burned.
Sun Fury
Level: 6
Range: 350meters (1000')
Duration: instantaneous
AoE: one ray of fire, one target
