What is the method you convert it?
The excerpt says:
As written, a hellfire warlock serves as an extension of the warlock class from Complete Arcane. If you don't use this class, you can adapt this prestige class for use with other characters. Exchange the invocations requirement with the ability to cast fireball. Instead of improving invocations known, the hellfire warlock improves the character's arcane spellcasting ability by one level per class level. Instead of gaining hellfire blast, the character can deal an extra 1d6 points of damage per class level with evocation spells that deal damage. This ability costs the character 1 point of Constitution just like the hellfire blast class feature. The character gains the fire resistance, hellfire infusion, and hellfire shield abilities as normal.

Am I right about Hellfire Shield-
That this means you take the highest level Evoc damage spell that you have prepared and deal its equivalent in damage to that single target + Hellfire bonus damage of 3d6?
Example, Chain lightning deals 1d6/level (20 max).
So if attacked at caster level 13, you give up 1 con to deal 16d6 damage to that attacker with Ref for 1/2?
Not that Evoc is a good route to take/focus on, but would I be right in that what it does?
