Fire Blast

is a Tier 2 Fire Path Spell.

The caster continuously infuses target location with an excess of fiery energies that erupts when the caster stops putting mana into the spell. The location of the spell cannot be changed once the charging begins. The explosion's size and intensity scales with the amount of mana put into the spell; at base tier, within 3 seconds of charging, the explosion is enough to cause severe damage within 2 meters and significant damage within 4 meters. As the spell's location is being charged with fiery energy, initially only fire path mages can sense the energy there, but eventually the excess fiery energies will spontaneously cause fires to erupt on anything combustible within the area of effect (though this is far less potent than the eruption when the spell is finished). This can give away its location to enemies, who may then be able to get away before the detonation occurs.
