Flame orb is a battle spell of Pyre, the affinity of fire, destruction and war. Before battle, the caster gathers fire into a sphere and hurls it at one enemy company, selected by chance. How hard it burns is shown on the card.
Sealborn of Pyre call it Kindle grown large: the same spark, fed by a deeper core until it will not fit in a hand. Research presses it into a Seal-shard, and a returning Sealborn must recover it after each recasting. Like every battle spell, it must still get past the ward, the resistance of its affinity and the creature's own resistance. Unmaker's Edge, the art Undon, the Unmaker teaches, helps it through. Cast from a core of another affinity, it costs more, fails more easily and burns weaker.
Guild artisans say this was the siege fire of the Age of the First Sealborn. Great kingdoms threw it at small ones until Daegred, the Sunward made the Law of Equals. The spell outlived the devouring.
