[QUOTE="5ekyu, post: 7610803, member: 6919838"] " The description says you can spread the fire to fill a five foot cube adjacent to it. " No, it does not. Unless I read itbincorrectlybthe word "fill" is not there and you are making that up whole cloth. Good try. But nah. The 5' part says you can expand the flame 5' in one direction provided there is wood or other fuel there. So, if you have a torch sized flame and you have fuel in a square 5' to its side you can expand the flame into that square - but nothing says that torch somehow grows to fill that square. The 1 pt torch references are to expanding a torch sized flame, not to expanding a blazing room 5'. In essence it boils down to this - mostly that feature adds or expands the reach of whatever natural flame it was applied **if** there is the fuel it needs there in the new reached square. In that natural fire was torch *and* there is "torch stuff there in that next square, you can extend it into there. If the natural fire is a burning wood floor and there is fuel enough to match that, it can be expanded to another square. But the damage potential does not increase or decrease. So, no, really, the house fire doesnt get snuffed down to a torch by the expand feature. But, then, nobody said it did. [/QUOTE]
