It should be possible to apply Chain Spell to it, along with Elven Spell Lore if you're concerned about critters that are Fire Immune, and achieve a 400d6 blast without even hardly trying.

08-07-06, 10:39 AM Doesn't detonate only effect one creature at a time? I.E. any extra blasts on the target creature would not stack with the original blast?

08-07-06, 11:24 AM Hence the chaining onto multiple creatures.

Rats work, but they aren't the smallest critters you can get. Bats (which are Diminutive unlike Tiny rats) work perfectly fine. Same thing with toads.
