Kamikaze Oryctolagus Flammula


What's it called
? Kamikaze Oryctolagus Flammula (in short, KOF)

What does it do? One of the best single-hitting offensive spells, this spell will summon a varying horde of fire-bunnies which will start crashing and burning into your target. As to their number, it will vary depending on skills; they come in waves, the next one smaller than the previous one; nice methods and offensive should give arround 12 bunnies for the first group. 6 will be the staple at mediocre bonuses, and 4 can come in the worst of cases.
The damage they give is quite small, but adds up (it's one of those 'damage over time' spells), specially if you keep casting other offensive spells on the poor sod or proceed to mergings (that is, casting the spell again while the first cast is still in effect; this will merge the carrots involved -while throwing rabbits, the used carrot floats on top of the victim- and throw out a higher number of bunnies per wave. The danger is that re-casts while many bunnies are already coming out may lead to a failure, and the bunnies attacking the caster).
Two more virtues of the spell are that skills requirements are quite low (meaning it can be cast from early ages, even though it won't do much damage then) and the fact that, once cast, it is unavoidable: your running victim won't be able to elude them or hide while under its effects.
Overall, the spell is very useful, its main setback being the frequent use of carrots needed (and each costs almost a dollar, although they can be harvested for free in some places), that the damage only affects one victim, and over an extended period of time, and that trolls are greatly protected against its fire damage. Actually, the spell *can* be cast on more than 1 person, but it will spend a huge amount of gps (the whole amount used for the spell for each additional victim), cause less damage per head and have a greater chance of miscasting.

Where is it? As would be appropiate for a spell that consists of magically burning and wicked bunnies, it is only fit that it should lie in the charred pages of the Spelles of thee Arte of Fyre grimoire, at the Unseen University Library.

What does it require? A torch and a carrot. This second item is consumed, not so much in the casting as at the end of the bunny-waves, when it flickers out of existence.

What skills do I need? Convoking, Fire, Convoking (2), Fire (2)

Has it worked? The proper output should read something like this:

You wiggle your eyebrows around a bit.
You think about a nice, big, orange, burning carrot.

You ceremonially set fire to the carrot with the torch.
