im not sure of this but all the rules i have read for the archmage dont clear this up. for its ability arcane fire how does it work, from what ive read this is how it goes.
you select a 9th lvl spell slot never able to be used again, from now on you can use this ability freely......
for a minimum lvl archmage this is at least 10d6

how does this ability actually work or am i right...


help :weep:

how it works (3.5)

spend a 9th level slot to gain the ability

then, when ever you want to use the ability, you channel one of your prepared spells (say, a 3rd level fireball) into arcane fire. in this case it would do 4d6 damage for a min level archmage ( 1d6 for the archmage level and 3d6 for the spell level)

hope this helps.
