Place the flame template in base contact with the Wizard and anywhere in his are of sight. Models whose bases are completely under the template are automatically hit and models whose bases are partially covered are hit on the roll of a 4+. Models hit suffer a Strength 3 hit with no armour save allowed. If the caster is engaged in close combat and casts this spell, no template is used. Instead, each unit engaged in the fight (friend and foe) suffers DG hits. The caster himself never suffers hits from the spell.
