Fulmen Sphaericus,[1] commonly known as lightning ball or fireball, is a powerful combat spell which causes an explosion wounding everyone and setting aflame everything within radius up to 10 meters.[2] Because of its unpredictable properties it is advised to use it only under the open sky, as in interiors it can cause a shockwave wounding the caster and their companions.[3]
It is described as pretty useful against even the most dangerous energumens,[1] but hardly noticeable by fiery dragons.[3]
