Today's spells are Hydromancy spells, which means that they appear on the spell list for the new Hydromancer feat in the compendium, and they thus activate the feat's special abilities. These feats are designed, among other things, to unify thematic concepts that can stretch across multiple damage types, making other forms of conventional specialization (such as damage type synergies) less resonant for these things. Steam spells are a great example, as they deal fire damage but they appear on the Hydromancy spell list (which also contains spells that deal bludgeoning damage, cold damage, and more) and not on the Pyromancy spell list (also new in the compendium), which doesn't necessarily contain every spell that deals the fire damage type.
This particular spell is inspired very directly by the anime Dragon Ball Z, and specifically by the abilities used by our small friend here and our very evil boy, called the Destructo-Disk in the English Dub. This spell will chase your foes down until it hits something, but it won't chase only your foes down. Watch out that your disk doesn't accidentally hit someone you care about... like yourself!
Fist of Flame is intended to be a simple-to-understand single-target damage spell, fitting into the lineage of blight, harm, disintegrate, and finger of death. As an eighth-level spell, fist of flame gets to pack some debuffing power with its damage punch. Blood to Flame is both a new Pyromancy spell and a new Blood spell (what a fun venn-diagram!) you can use to torture your enemies as they die a gruesome death.
