As Blake begins to cast Fireball, his eyes blaze with a fierce intensity, reflecting the elemental power he commands. Incantations flow from his lips, each word igniting the air around him.
The staff, carved with intricate runes, glows a brilliant crimson, and fiery tendrils dance along its length. Flames swirl around the staff's tip, coalescing into a searing orb of incandescent fire.
As he finishes his incantation, a huge ball of fire hurls towards his target. The area targeted by the Fireball heats immensely seconds before impact.
Upon impact, it explodes in a blinding flash, engulfing the area in a ferocious inferno that incinerates everything within its radius. The aftermath leaves scorched earth and smoldering embers, a testament to Blake's formidable pyromancy.
