 The first of these produces a flashing, fiery burst of glowing, colored fireworks that lasts 1 round per caster level.

Attacks made by creatures within the cloud suffer a -2 [[Roll to Hit|to hit]] penalty due to poor visibility.

 '''Pyrotechnics''' is a spell that allows the caster to manipulate an existing fire source, which is required for the spell to function. The spell can produce one of two distinct effects, each altering the fire in a dramatic and tactical manner.  The pyrotechnics consume a 5 ft. diameter fire source, extinguishing it once the spell is complete.
