When this spell is cast, a cold, black fire appears in the wizard's hand, shedding violet coloured light equivalent to torchlight. The wizard can hold the blackfire without taking damage or throw it at an opponent. Throwing it at an opponent requires a roll to hit. If the sphere hits, the target ignites the creature's life force doing 1d6 points of damage the first round and 1d3 the following rounds until extinguished. The flames can be extinguished by padding them out, but water has no effect. The flames only consume living matter (creatures and plants) and have no effect on non-living material or undead. The end product of blackfire combustion is oxygen and a grey-blue ash.
The material components are human fat and powdered magnesium.
