This spell duplicates the 3rd-level fireball in most respects; however, instead of shaping the fireball from magical energy as the evocation version does, this spell actually conjures a ball of fire directly from the elemental plane of fire. When the spell is cast, a small interdimensional connection opens between the plane of fire and the wizard's plane; the fireball enters through this opening and strikes the targets as directed by the wizard. There is a chance that an extraplanar creature may enter through the opening as well. The chance of this occurring is: 20% - 1% per level of the wizard (to a minimum of 1%).
This spell has the same effects (including damage) as the evocation version, but it is slightly harder to produce these effects in this manner; this is reflected in the higher spell level and the reduced range and area of effect.
The material components for this spell are a piece of flint and a pinch of sulphur.
