The ball explodes on impact, knocking enemies to the ground and dealing 1d3+3 fire damage per two caster levels (a successful Reflex save reduces the fire damage by half and negates the knockdown effect) and 1d2+2 force damage per caster level (no save) to targets in the area.
A new destruction-based mode, Showtime, also makes its debut in Burnout Paradise. This mode replaces the puzzle-like crash mode of the previous games and effectively lets the player start a large, slow-motion crash anywhere in Paradise City.
