When this spell is cast, a cold, black fire appears in the caster's hand,
shedding violet coloured light equivalent to torchlight.  The caster can
hold the blackfire without taking damage or throw it at an opponent. 
Throwing it at an opponent requires a roll "to hit".  If the sphere hits,
the target ignites the creature's life force doing 1d6 hp damage the first
round and 1d3 the following rounds until extinguished.  The flames can
be extinguished by padding them out, but water has no effect.  The
flames only consume living matter (creatures and plants) and have no
effect on non-living material or undead.  The end product of blackfire
combustion is oxygen and a grey-blue ash.

The material components are human fat and powdered magnesium.
