=====Practical Application of ''Boiling Sphere''=====
 
 
 
''Boiling sphere'' is a utility spell, useful in many situations. Practicality makes it suitable for cooking food underwater. In addition, since it is superheated water, it even functions in a vacuum. In combat, it is useful to cover your flank, block an narrow passage, or conjure on top an immobile target. Strategically, it could even be used to be placed behind a target, and bullrush the target into it. Conjure several ''boiling spheres'' to block off several patches, decrease visibility and provide battlefield concealment in open areas.

Level: Cleric 1, Druid 1, Sorcerer/Wizard 1
Components: S
Casting time: 1 standard action
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Area: 5 ft. square
Duration: 1 round + 1 round/level, (D)
Saving Throw: yes (see text)
Spell Resistance: no

You conjure a hovering, superheated, steaming, boiling sphere of water that occupies a 5 foot square. The sphere deals 1d6 fire damage per round to targets within its space. At the end of its duration, the boiling sphere bursts, dealing 1d6 points of fire damage to all adjacent targets. A Reflex save halves this splash damage.

The steam (or bubbles if underwater) obscure all vision through the sphere's space, rendering a creature entirely occupying the sphere's space as effectively blind. The sphere does not provide cover from ranged attacks, but it may provide concealment.

This spell functions normally underwater and in vacuums. Moving through a boiling sphere counts as difficult terrain.
