Rolling Magma (previously known as Magma Orb) is a spell skill that launches a projectile that bounces on a parabolic curve that explodes on impact dealing fire damage in an area of effect. Effects that modify the number of times projectiles can chain changes the number of times Rolling Magma's projectile bounces instead.

Skill functions and interactions

• Rolling Magma's projectile is launched through the air from the caster's location and lands where the caster is currently targeting (up to a maximum range). This causes an explosion dealing fire damage and then bounces in the same direction that it was initially launched. The impact has a base radius of 14, and a base spacing between impacts of 16 .
