+Neither the caster nor allies are immune to the sphere's effects. The fire is entirely real in its heat and contact, and will burn any creature it touches regardless of allegiance. The caster alone is not compelled by the sphere's presence; he or she may stand adjacent to it, move freely beside it or even occupy the same hex without being driven away by its heat. This indifference is not protection. Falling into the sphere, being forced into it or allowing it to pass through one's own hex results in the same injury. The caster's control extends only to directing the sphere's movement, not to negating its effect.

-'''Flaming sphere''' conjures a floating globe of [[Normal Fire|normal fire]] from the size of a orange up to one foot in diameter, capable of damaging or setting alight objects which it touches.  The sphere is also capable of causing 2-8 [[Damage (hit points)|damage]] to creatures it touches.  There is a definite heat that emits from the sphere and creatures will automatically [[Movement (stride)|move]] to a distance of two hexes away if they're able — breaking off attacks if need be.
+'''Flaming sphere''' is a spell that conjures a floating globe of [[Normal Fire|normal fire]], ranging in size from that of an orange up to one foot in diameter. The sphere burns anything it contacts, capable of igniting flammable materials and causing 2-8 [[Damage (hit points)|damage]] to creatures it touches. It radiates intense heat; creatures within proximity will instinctively [[Movement (stride)|move]] two [[Combat Hex|hexes]] away if able, abandoning attacks if necessary.

-The caster and other allies aren't immune to the effects of the sphere, except that the caster does not fear the sphere and can move adjacent to it, or even into the same hex.  If he or she is touched, however, or falls into the sphere, the same damage results.
+Neither the caster nor allies are immune to the sphere's effects. The caster alone is unaffected by its presence and may stand adjacent to it or occupy the same hex without hesitation. If physically contacted — or if the caster falls into it — damage is applied normally.
 == Movement ==
-The caster can make the sphere move in any direction a distance of only one hex with an expenditure of 1 [[Action Points|action point]] (AP).   The sphere can be cast directly into an enemy hex, causing damage when it does — but thereafter it may be difficult within the time duration to find another opportunity to cause damage to another creature that isn't either [[Stun Lock|stunned]] or trapped.  If the ball isn't directed in a given round, it floats in place.
+The caster may direct the sphere one hex in any direction by spending 1 [[Action Points|action point]] (AP). The sphere may be cast directly into an occupied hex, dealing damage upon arrival. Thereafter, striking additional targets can be difficult unless creatures are [[Stun Lock|stunned]] or otherwise unable to avoid it. If not directed in a round, the sphere remains where it is.
-The sphere can move in any direction vertically or horizontally for the spell's duration.
+The sphere may move freely in any direction, including vertically, for the duration of the spell.
 == Effect on Objects ==
-Anything the sphere touches must make an [[Saving Throws for Items|item saving throw]] vs. normal fire.  While flammable objects like paper, thin wood or fabric will catch fire if they fail save, even hard non-flammable things may be affected.  For example, porcelain and pottery cracks, glass breaks and thick wooden objects char and blacken.
+Any object touched by the sphere must make an [[Saving Throws for Items|item saving throw]] vs. normal fire. Flammable materials such as paper, cloth or thin wood will ignite on a failed save. Non-flammable materials are still affected: porcelain and pottery crack, glass shatters, and heavy wood scorches and blackens.
