Enchanting description: Burns the target for <mag> points. Targets on fire take extra damage.

Fire Damage is one of the three elemental types of damage available from the School of Destruction, the other two being Frost and Shock Damage. Fire damage has the unique ability to set its target on fire for several seconds, causing additional damage through burning (usually ~10% of the immediate damage). The environment can also be set alight which will also cause damage to enemies that pass through the flames, although the effect only lasts for a very short duration. Fire Damage's primary advantage is that it is the strongest element in terms of damage (both direct and over time), and that there are a fair amount of foes in Skyrim that are either non-resistant or outright vulnerable to fire (Nords, draugr, spriggans, just to name a few). On top of that, Fire Damage's AOE spell, Fireball, has the longest range of any of the element's AoE spells. Finally, Fire damage is also the only element that can trigger oil traps without the help of a lantern jug. Its primary disadvantage however lies in a questionably useful master spell, and the fact that those enemies that are resistant to fire are unfortunately the most common in their category (Fire Atronachs, Fire Dragons, etc), especially on Solstheim.

There are more variants of the Fire Damage effect than of any other effect in the game, with 70 distinct magical effects that produce fire in some form or another. This allows the game to use different visual effects for various types of fire damage, and also is one way that side-effects of the fire are customized. Other side-effects of fire spells are implemented by including multiple effects into a single spell.
