Fire Field

Using this spell creates a magical fire field that will burn everyone that comes too close to it. However, its use is rather limited. If not cast on a narrow path, the caster's foes can simply walk around it, making the creation of the field rather pointless. Care should be take since falling unconscious on a fire field means certain death.

The spells Fire Ring and Flame Strike are much better suited than this one.

The Serpent Isle version of this field is slightly different, as it is composed of a field of blue flame, instead of normal fire.

Note that "Energy Field" was originally an umbrella term for all the types of magical fields: Poison Field, Fire Field, Sleep Field and Lightning Field, and the same spell would be used to create any of them. Later (after Ultima IV), different spells were designed for each of the fields, and the previous Lightning Field came to be known simply as Energy Field. However, at times the four spells are still called "energy field spells".
