'''Starburst''' is a Level 6 [[Conjurations]]/[[Fire Magic]] spell that launches penetrating [[Bolt of Fire|bolts of fire]] in all 8 directions. It is powerful enough to set [[tree]]s on fire.

==Strategy==
Starburst is a strong AOE spell. It's valuable when surrounded, since it targets every space around you (and hits much further). Compared to [[Fireball]], Starburst deals more damage at most reasonable power levels, but has a chance to miss.

If a monster isn't on a direct line of fire, try backing up. Since monsters try to take the shortest path to you, when you back up, they'll eventually line up with Starburst's attack pattern. See [[#Gallery|Gallery]] for a demonstration.

===Tips & Tricks===
*Be careful around crystal [[wall]]s when using Starburst. As the bolts always travel in straight lines in all 8 directions, it's easy to accidentally bounce multiple bolts back at yourself.

==History==
*Starburst replaced the player version of the [[Bolt of Fire]] spell in [[0.25]], replacing the ability to target specific foes in favor of an 8-directional blast.
