Fire spells underwater

[Gurthang]

I would like to know whether all fire spells are outlawed underwater. Also, what about inherent abilities like Abysian heat and the like? Do they still have any effect?

[Amhazair]

Many are, but not all. (The divide seems to be somewhere along the lines of a fluffy understanding on whether the spell efect actually consist of producing flames or not.) Also, there are quite a few non-fire spells equally affected, including most, but not all, evocations. Your best bet to find out about particular spells is to check the manual. (It's one of the reasons I still have it sat on my desk after years of playing. And months of not playing for that matter. ;))

Either Banefire or Astral fire also works underwater- I forget which it is, but I believe it's Astral Fire.
