Combustion
Mage skill · Fire line · tier 2
The fire doesn't go out: it finds whatever is left to burn.
It is only used in combat once it is placed on the hero's active bar, and its 8 s cooldown is before cooldown reduction.

The value is the game's internal number for this skill.

skill power = 1 + 1% per point in the other Fire skills + 2% per rank of each skill that boosts it
The damage factor has a minimum of 0.35 and no maximum. A hero with 600 damage and no line mastery or synergies gets the listed value; how it becomes damage or healing per hit depends on the skill's type and timing.
