This spell creates a flaming missile with a trail of superheated noxious gasses. The comet unerringly strikes one target, the impact causing 3d6 points of damage and the flames an additional 3d6. Furthermore, any creature within 5 feet of the comet's path will suffer 2d4 points of fire damage. All those within 5 feet of the point of impact will suffer 3d4 points of damage. Anyone who suffers damage from this spell is also considered to have been engulfed in the noxious fumes, and will be at -2 on all rolls (10% spell failure chance) for 1d6 rounds due to coughing, choking, and blurred vision. The material component is a ball of pitch mixed with sulphur and phosphorus.
