I may be mistaken).  I have to agree with the other guy, if he is going to amp up by casting spells on himself let him.  I personally think that Spellfire is a waste of time.  Having to ready an action to absorb is what takes some of the functionality away.  If he is playing a Warrior type and they face an enemy party with a spellcaster all the spellcaster has to do to keep the warrior spellfire weilder out of the fight is to act like he is going to cast a spell every round.  Since the warrior most likely won't have spellcraft he won't be able to tell what the spell is.  If the spellcaster casts a Summon Monster spell or anything that doesn't directly effect the warrior then the warrior will have wasted his action for that round.  As soon as he does something besides readying an action let the enemy spellcaster let a spell fly directly targeted at the spellfire wielder.  I wouldn't use this tactic while the party is low level but by the time they make 7th level or so they should have enough of a reputation that their foes should know what to expect when they face the party.</p></blockquote><p></p>
