|summary=A variant of [[SRD:Fireball|''fireball'']], it is stronger and concussive but is easily telegraphed.

''It looks like the mage cast fireball, but it only produced a small burning sun instead of a wide -spread fireball. Well , that was easy to avo- BOOOOOOM!!!''

Designed from the ''[[SRD:Fireball|fireball]]'' spell, ''firestar'' looks visually identical. However , instead of exploding into a 20 ft radius spread , it instead forms a small star -like ball of flame which fills a 5 ft radius and deals 1d6 fire damage per level (max 20d6). Creatures in the area or passing through the area get a [[Reflex]] save for half damage. At the end of 1 round, this star collapses and explodes violently, dealing 1d10 fire damage per level (max 20d10) in a 20 ft radius burst, and those which who fail their saving throws are pushed to the outer edge of the area effect and fall [[SRD:Prone|prone ]] from the concussive force. A creature may end up making two saves if they are caught by the initial star and the subsequent explosion.

While stronger than its sister spell ''fireball'', it has a longer wind -up and is easily telegraphed, causing creatures to move out of the way of the more devastating explosion.
