[edit] Usage
Fireball is a Sorceress spell. It is one of the second-tier spells that she can learn, and is therefore in intermediate strength, and often useful later in game as well.
An improved version of Fire Bolt, Fireball sends a large globe of fire at an enemy, which explodes upon impact. The radius of explosion is relatively small (only 1 yard), but if fired into large groups of small enemies, it will often do quite a bit of effective damage.
More importantly, Fireball is a prerequisite for the popular spell Meteor, and some players opt to max it since it synergizes with meteor as well.
[edit] History
Once she has learned the basic incantation of this spell, the Sorceress can collect a large amount of elemental fire and contain it within a globe of energy. Discharging it toward her enemy, those energies are released in a devastating explosion upon impact. This spell of mass destruction is ideal for bombarding the encampments of her enemies.
