DESCRIPTION
This spell causes your hand to glow with a crimson radiance.

Your melee touch attack deals 1d8 points of fire damage. Upon striking an opponent, the target must make a successful Fortitude Save or take an additional 1d4 damage. On a successful save, the target is knocked back by 10 feet but does not take the additional damage. However, such is the destructive force behind the weapon that the caster suffers 1 point of damage.

Active Augment: For each additional point of MP spent, you deal an additional 1d8 points of damage on the initial hit, +1d4 damage additional damage, and +1 self damage.
