The secret alchemy of Greek Fire is scoffed at by advanced wizards. They instead point to the ease with which they achieve the same effect through sorcery.

Description

Targets an adjacent square. Applies the Aflame intrinsic to the target for 3d3+3 rounds. Aflame deals 1d6 fire damage per round. Particularly useful against monsters which are difficult to hit (e.g. Turtloids,), have hitback attacks (like Floating Eyes), or require hit-and-run tactics (notably Ghosts. Cockatrices, and Liches). Arguably the best early-game and even late-game spell, it allows you to set your target on fire, and you can run. Your enemy will follow, but will take damage until either they die, or their skin no longer burns, in which case you can set them back on fire again. Almost all non-fire resistant monsters are not much trouble with this tactic.
