-The spell of fire storm is normally learned from successfully [[reading]] a [[spellbook of fireball]] as a [[hero]] that is Skilled or better in attack spells, and is [[Wizard/dNetHack|Wizard]], a neutral [[Undead Hunter]] with 6+ parasites implanted count, or has the [[Spirits (dNetHack)|spirit]] [[Paimon]] bound&mdash;the spell also has a corresponding spellbook as part of the items list, though it is not normally generated. The spellbook of fire storm cannot be destroyed by [[Fire (element)|fire]] damage from traps, wands, spells, or attacks.

 Items that have the "blast" [[object property]] will grant a large boost to success rates for casting fire storm while they are [[worn]]. Wearing [[Narya]] also massively lowers the failure rate of the fire storm spell.

 Once a valid location is chosen, the spell will then produce 1d3+1 explosions of fire that create [[noise]], with less noise made if they occur inside a monster engulfing the hero, and are centered on and immediately around the targeted square: the first explosion produced by the spell will always be centered on the target square, and the others will be centered on a random square within a 3x3 range around that target square. If the hero casts the spell with the spirit [[Naberius]] bound, the number of fireballs are multiplied by {{frac|3|2}} (rounded down to the whole), and their radius is increased so that they cover a 2-square "circular" range similar to the light radius of a lit [[candle]]. For a neutral [[Undead Hunter]], each parasite used to empower explosive spells adds an additional fireball as well.
-The fireballs each deal a base 4d8 fire damage to a hero or monster caught in the explosion unless they have [[fire resistance]], and a hero caught in the explosions also abuses [[strength]] for each one. Damage against monsters is subject to spell damage bonuses applied from the hero's casting stat (done in a manner similar to NetHack 3.4.3), as well as a +1 bonus per 3 [[syllable]]s read and any damage scaling based on each monster's [[physical size]] (with a maximum damage multiplier of {{frac|7|2}} against gigantic monsters).

 [[Potion]]s in a victim's inventory may boil and explode as a result of the explosion, subjecting any monster or hero nearby to their [[vapors]], while [[scroll]]s and spellbooks may be burnt and destroyed, and [[cloth]] and [[leather]] pieces of [[armor]] can become [[burnt]]&mdash;items destroyed this way deal +1d6 for each potion, +1 for each scroll and +1 for each spellbook.
-[[Ice]] in the range of the explosions will melt into [[pool]]s or moats, while [[fountain]]s and already-existing pools will evaporate and dry up, with pools leaving behind pits (moats are not affected), and [[web]]s will burst into flames. Closed [[door]]s, loose potions, loose scrolls, and loose spellbooks in the range of the explosion may be destroyed, with boiled potions subjecting any monster or hero nearby to their vapors, while cloth and leather items in the explosion's range may be burnt. Spellbooks of fireball, spellbooks of firestorm and [[scrolls of fire]] cannot be destroyed by the fireballs, and the Book of the Dead will generally resist all forms of destruction.
