Purifying Flame is a skill gem that casts a wave of divine fire damage in a line, then creates Consecrated Ground and deals damage in an area around the targeted location. A larger shockwave then expands outwards, damaging enemies standing on Consecrated Ground that were not already hit.

Skill functions and interactions

• The secondary shockwave can only hit enemies that were not previously hit by the initial cast, meaning that an enemy will only take damage from this spell once per cast.

• The consecrated ground created by this skill inherits all effects that apply to consecrated ground from the character, such as Inquisitor's Sanctuary.

• With the Crucible Passive Skill Consecrated Path and Purifying Flame create Profane Ground instead of Consecrated Ground, 100% of Consecrated Path and Purifying Flame Fire Damage Converted to Chaos Damage", the secondary waves of Purifying Flame will not function unless another source of Consecrated Ground is available.

• Scaling area of effect scales the width of the line, the size of the explosion when the spell reaches the target location, and the size of the consecrated ground created.

• Scaling skill effect duration increases the duration of the consecrated ground created.
