1001 Ways to Flavor a Firebolt - Descriptive Spell Effects
Are you tired of saying "I fire a firebolt at him?"
Are you looking to add some special effects for a more dramatic cinematic narrative?
1. A pit opens to the underworld and a blast of fire spits out and flies toward my target.
2. I pull a quill from my pack and with a hum it floats before me. The feathered end bursts into flames and shoots off like a bolt toward my target.
3. I swirl my dagger through the air forming the ancient rune of fire. The blade bursts into fire. With a thrust toward my opponent I release my control on the flame and it launches in a bolt of fire.
4. I wave my staff overhead and with each circle a flame builds. After a few passes it becomes a bolt of fire and when I strike forward with the staff the fire bolt launches at my target.
5. I wind up like a pitcher getting ready and as I throw a bolt of fire forms. Like a fastball it impacts my target right in the face.
6. I toss a ball of fire up in the air, swing my palm overhead, spiking it into my target.
7. I form an ember of fire between my pinched fingers. With my other hand outstretched before me I line up my target and pull back. When I release the fire bolts like it was shot out of a slingshot.
8. I toss an orb of fire that lands at the feet of the creature and explodes in a burst of flame.
9. I throw acorns and other small nuts at the target. When they hit the acorns burst into fire.
10. I draw ambient heat from the surrounding area and gather it into one bolt to shoot toward the target.
11. I pull heat energy from the target in strands of fire. Once I have a mass of them I fire them back at the target in a bolt of fire.
12. I spit out a breath of fire. It looks like Koopa shooting after Mario as a bolt of fire launches toward my target.
13. For a split second a portal to the elemental plane of fire opens. A gout of primal fire engulfs the target.
14. I hum and a dart appears in my fingers. I target the creature and as I release the throw the dart bursts into flame leaving a trail of smoke in its wake.
15. I spit out one of the seeds I was eating. The seed turns into a small bolt of fire and flies toward my target.
16. I pull a playing card from my cloak and fling it through the air. As it leaves my hand it bursts on fire and streaks toward my target.
17. I channel magic through my fingertips. I extend my index finger and fire leaps toward my target.
18. I go full metal on my lute. On the power chord a burst of fire lances up the neck of the instrument and strikes the target.
19. A soap bubble floats toward my target. When it is overhead it bursts and flames rain down.
20. I furrow my brow and stare at the target until my vision goes red and a bolt of fire shoots out of my eyes.
21. I snap my fingers and a flame appears above my hand. I throw it with a casual toss toward my enemy.
22. A crossbow made of fire appears in my hands. I aim and pull the trigger releasing a fire bolt at my target.
23. A little chipmunk plants a nut at the base of the creature. The chipmunk bolts away as I yell "fire in the hole" and the nut explodes.
