Level 2

  1. Pillar of Flame (strategic)
  2. Flame Dart (tactical) - Does 6 (+4 per fire shard) in fire damage to a single target
  3. NEW: Heat Metal (tactical) - Reduce Armor Class of targeted unit wearing metal armor unless they resist as they shed their burning hot metal amor. This spell is not effective against units equipped with leather curass or padded armor.

  2. Mantle of Fire (strategic enhancement)
  3. NEW: Forest Fire (tactical) - All forest tiles are set afire. Units in or entering those tiles suffer damage and a thick smoke covers the battlefield reducing the maximum range for ranged attacks (melee and magic based) to 4 tiles. Special: Requires at least 8 forest tiles on the tactical map.  No forests = No forest fire.

Level 5

  1. Firestorm (strategic)
  2. NEW: Flaming Land (tactical) - 20% of all unoccupied tiles are engulfed in flames. Units entering those tiles suffer 12 fire damage (+4 per fire shard)

Flaming land is cool.  We'll have a use for that rainbow shift color sample in the couldron. ;)

Otherwise some armogedon, fiery doom, meteor storm (im thinking the multi-strike meteor from Final Fantasy) thing could work, or something like a volcanic eruption (lava splater), or something evocative of Hell (rain of blood, from a lacerated sky...)
