Scorch is a direct damage spell. Place the small round template anywhere within 24" - it then scatters D6". All models underneath the template suffer a Flaming Strength 4 hit. Any unit that suffers an unsaved wound must take a Panic test. The caster can choose to increase the power of this spell to use the large round template instead. If they do so, the casting value is increased to 16+ and the template scatters 2D6" rather than D6".
