Forest's fiery constrictor was a conjuration spell used by wizards. This spell was developed by Forest.[1][2][3]
Effects[]
This spell caused a tentacle of flame to shoot forth from any source of natural or magical fire. The fiery tentacle measured 10 feet (3 meters) long. Enchanted weapons were needed to harm it. The caster could direct the flaming tentacle to attack any target within 20 feet (6.1 meters). Creatures struck by the tentacle were burned, but if the tentacle was able to wrap around them they would continue to burn until the spell expired.[1][2]
Extinguishing the source of fire feeding the tentacle would cut the spell duration in half.[1][2]
Components[]
In addition to verbal and somatic components, this spell required a scale from a red dragon to cast. [1][2]
History[]
In the month of Eleasis, of the Year of the Unstrung Harp, 1371 DR, the city of Ravens Bluff's Ministry of Art and Wizards Guild jointly declared it illegal to cast Forest's fiery constrictor within city limits due to a raging unnatural storm at the time called the Soulstorm. In addition to threatening arrest for those that broke this decree, it was declared that breaking this prohibition would result in a permanent expulsion from either organization.[4][note 1]

Notes[]
- ↑ The events of the Living City Ravens Bluff campaign took place on a timeline that advanced together with the real world's time. Even though all Living City adventures and issues of Ravens Bluff Trumpeter were dated with real-world dates, there were events that received a DR year. The Living City timeline can be derived from Myrkyssa Jelan's historic events of the late 14th century DR. Myrkyssa Jelan attacked Ravens Bluff in 1370 DR, according to The City of Ravens Bluff and Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting 3rd edition; these events are chronicled in an in-and-out of universe issues of Ravens Bluff Trumpeter. This places the real world year 1997 as 1370 DR, and in 1998 (1371 DR), Myrkyssa was at last arrested and tried and said to have been executed, only to reappear in 1372 DR in The City of Ravens novel. As the real world's months and the Calendar of Harptos are virtually identical, we can also date all events of the Living City Ravens Bluff as close as an in-universe month.
