Hellfire (spell)

Hellfire was an evocation spell.

Components
Hellfire required only verbal and somatic components.

History
Hellfire was a spell that was only available to people who had access to the Diabolic domain. However, there was one exception. People who signed up with the cult of Mephistopheles could gain access to it. To do so, they needed to agree to conduct corrupt and obeisant acts; the former was a term to describe acts to further the tilt towards evil in a person, the latter towards law. When they became favored members of the cult, they finally gained access to hellfire and could cast the spell whether they were clerics or not.
