Righteous Fire is a spell that applies a permanent buff on the player, which grants more spell damage to the user while active and applies a potent burning effect on the player and surrounding enemies that scales with the user's maximum life and energy shield pool.
Damage over time effect: While the Righteous Fire buff is active, the player and surrounding enemies will take fire damage over time. This damage can be sustained with mitigation from Fire Resistance as well as regeneration or other sources of recovery. Righteous Fire will also damage energy shield and prevent it from recharging while the skill is active (unless all damage bypasses energy shield, such as with Divine Flesh); however, a player can still regenerate energy shield through energy shield regeneration, or if the player has life regeneration and Zealot's Oath or Pious Path.
Mind Over Matter will cause part of Righteous Fire's damage over time to drain Mana instead. This allows players with extreme investment into Mana recovery to use Righteous Fire with little downside.
Stopping Righteous Fire: Righteous Fire's buff and burning effect will apply until the player is at 1 life, at which point the buff is removed. The effect can be ended prematurely by any effect which removes burning, such as flasks with a Removes Burning on useaffix. Unsocketing the gem out of its socket will remove the skill effect, but will not stop the degeneration effect.
Chaos Inoculation: Righteous Fire cannot be activated if Chaos Inoculation is allocated, as the buff is removed immediately when the player is on 1 life (which is all the time with Chaos Inoculation).
More Spell Damage buff: Righteous Fire provides a large "more damage" modifier to spell damage during its effect, which is multiplicative to other damage multipliers. This buff does not affect Righteous Fire itself, as it does not scale with spell damage.
Spell damage modifiers do not scale Righteous Fire's damage despite being a spell gem as spell damage and damage over time are two distinct and mutually exclusive damage sources.
Aura effect modifiers do not affect Righteous Fire as it is not an aura.

Ancestral Bond: It is possible to use Righteous Fire with the Ancestral Bondkeystone. Both the player and nearby monsters will burn, but only the player will take damage.
Damage stacking: Multiple sources of Righteous Fire (such as from multiple players) do not stack. Instead, the source with the highest damage will take effect on the enemy.
Sustaining Righteous Fire
To sustain the degeneration damage Fire Resistance and Regeneration are needed. Depending on the player's resistance, less regeneration is needed to break even.
The base formula is:
where life, ES and fireRes is the characters maximum life, maximum energy shield and fire resistance. burnLife and burnES is the percent of life and energy shield that Righteous fire burns for and dmgTaken is the sum of all Damage taken stats, such as 10% reduced Damage taken from Damage Over Time from the Soul of ArakaaliPantheon power or #% increased Damage taken from Shock.

Some monsters use their own version of Righteous Fire, most notably Unrighteous Fire, which has a few internal ids.
The following monsters use Righteous Fire (or similar) skills:
No longer Deals 39-2447.9 base Fire Damage per Second. Now deals 70% of your Maximum Life and Energy Shield as Base Fire Damage per second (both previously 35%).
Quality now provides +0-0.3 metres to radius, instead of 0-20% increased Burning Damage.
Alternate quality gems, labyrinth helmet enchantments and unique threshold jewels are all systems that were trying to subtly modify the behaviour of skills. With this expansion these have been combined into a new system called Transfigured Gems that allows us to fully achieve the goal of these three systems, and then some.
Transfigured Gems are alternate versions of existing skill gems that have different functionality and balance than their regular versions. We have added many of these, with interesting variations that drastically change how existing skills play.
Anomalous, Divergent and Phantasmal Quality Gems have been removed from the game. Existing alternate Quality Gems now have the base Quality effect found on the respective Gem.
Many Skill Gems now display their radius in metres in the Gem description.
Weapon Range displayed on Melee Weapons and other descriptions that use ranges with values now instead use metres. The reminder text for "Close Range" and the description of Presence range in the Character panel also now use metres.
Righteous Fire now deals 20% less damage to enemies at all levels. You now deal 20% more spell damage while Righteous Fire is active with a level 1 Righteous Fire gem (down from 40% more spell damage), up to 39% more spell damage at gem level 20 (down from 58% more spell damage).

As part of the process of entering Open Beta, we have wiped all characters and reverted them to level 1 so that their names are retained. All items have been destroyed apart from the Unique prize item "Demigod's Presence" and Kiwi pets. There will never be another character or item wipe
Quest rewards have been changed for all classes. There's an emphasis on rare items as quest rewards in higher difficulties.
