What it does

Hold to pour a ray of heat along the aim for up to 4 s. It turns at most 4 rad/s toward the cursor, and you move at 50%. It stops at the first foe, tree, rock or wall. Every 0.2 s it deals 0.4x fire to what it touches, +0.03 for every unbroken tick on the same foe up to 0.7x: 2.0x per s rising to 3.5x per s after 2 s. Each tick has a 15% chance to burn (0.12xR per s, 3 s). Switching targets resets the ramp. Only its first tick on a foe can Scald. A stun, a freeze, a dodge or empty mana ends it; the cooldown starts on release.
