Pyre of flames immolates the target in a pyre-like wreath of flames and smoke, dealing 10d6 points of damage on the first round, 5d6 on the second round, 3d6 on the third round, and 2d6 on the fourth round. The target only makes one save. If it fails, it takes full damage each round as the pyre of flames moves with it. Additionally, the flames produce thick, oily, eye-stinging black smoke that reduces the target’s visibility to 20 ft. on the first round, 40 ft. on the second round, 60 ft. on the third round, and 80 ft on the fourth round. True seeing or a spell that allows the target to see through smoke will negate the reduced visibility.
