Armor of Flames is a sorcery protection against fiery attacks.
Spell Description[edit]
While the spell Endure Heat protects against damage taken from lava, it does not defend against fire-based attacks. For that case, the spell Armor of Flames instead is used. Once cast, the sorcerer is surrounded by blue flames that block any kind of magical fire attack, as well as any natural fire damage. However, it does not protect against lava in any way. After three minutes the spell will run its course and its effects will dissipate.
Lore[edit]
