Fireball is a mid-level mage spell, castable on characters and special mudlled objects. As its name implies it lets loose a fireball hurled at the target, enveloping it in flames, causing severe damage. It is of medium speed, uses a minor amount of mana, causes much damage, and it is storable, all this makes it a common spell in both player killing and against mobiles. Legend mages can usually store 2 fireballs.

Both good races and Black Númenóreans can learn this spell, but not orcs.
