Delayed blast fireball, or delayed blast fire ball was an evocation spell that was like fireball but could be given a timed detonation.[8][4][3][9]
Effect[]
Other than being similar to fireball, the damage of the spell was increased and the spell would detonate with a timed trigger.[8][4][3] Later versions of the spell created a fiery "bead" that could be thrown and explode, sometimes in the thrower's hand.[3][9]
The post-Second Sundering version of the spell could be made even more powerful if cast by a user with more skill.[9]
Components[]
Only verbal and somatic components were needed for the casting of the pre-Second Sundering version of this spell.[3][4][8] Following the Second Sundering, casting this spell required material components in the form of sulfur and a small ball of bat guano.[10]
History[]
This spell was invented by the arcanist and Fire Warden of Netheril Noanar and called Noanar's delayed fireball in −2305 DR (two years earlier than the simpler fireball).[1][11]
