Scorch is a Fire mage talent. It deals light damage to an enemy and is castable while moving.
This ability directly blasts the target rather than throwing a projectile. This means it doesn't have a travel time and, in PvP, doesn't give enemy players any hint what direction it came from.
Trivia
- Scorch is an uncommon mage ability in the Trading Card Game. Its flavor text reads: "All mages are pyromaniacs...at least a little bit."
