====== Burning Buff ======

{{ rpd:images:burning_buff.png|Burning }}

Burning is a harmful status effect in Remixed Pixel Dungeon that causes continuous damage to affected characters. It's one of the most common damage-over-time effects in the game.

==== Overview ====
Burning causes continuous damage each turn and can ignite flammable terrain and items. It can be extinguished by entering water tiles or cured with a [[en:rpd:potion_of_purity_item|Potion of Purity]].

==== Burning Mechanics ====
  * **Damage Rate**: Takes damage each turn (1 + bonus damage based on depth, specifically Random.Int(1 + bonusDamage, 5 + bonusDamage) where bonusDamage = Dungeon.depth / 2)
  * **Duration**: Lasts for approximately 8 turns by default (can be modified by Ring of Elements Resistance)
  * **Spread**: Can spread to adjacent flammable terrain when on a flammable tile
  * **Item Damage**: Carried items can be burned and destroyed
  * **Light Effect**: Provides light to the player character (like [[en:rpd:torch_item|Torch]])

==== Causes of Burning ====
  * **Fire-based Attacks**: [[en:rpd:wand_of_firebolt_item|Wand of Firebolt]], [[en:rpd:fire_elemental_mob|Fire Elemental]] attacks
  * **Fire Traps**: Stepping on [[en:rpd:fire_trap_trap|Fire Trap]]
  * **Environmental Hazards**: [[en:rpd:fire|Fire]] terrain
  * **Enemy Abilities**: [[en:rpd:fire_elemental_mob|Fire Elementals]], [[en:rpd:fire_enchantment|Fire Enchantment]] on weapons
  * **[[en:rpd:weapon_enchantments|Weapon Enchantments]]**: [[en:rpd:fire_enchantment_enchantment|Fire Enchantment]]
  * **[[en:rpd:arrows|Arrows]]**: [[en:rpd:fire_arrow_item|Fire Arrows]]
  * **[[en:rpd:plants|Plants]]**: [[en:rpd:firebloom_plant|Firebloom]]
  * **Self-infliction**: [[en:rpd:mystery_meat_item|Mystery Meat]], using [[en:rpd:arcane_stylus_item|Arcane Stylus]] on armor

==== Burning Immunities and Resistances ====
  * **[[en:rpd:immunities|Immunities]]**: [[en:rpd:fire_elemental_mob|Fire Elementals]], [[en:rpd:piranha|Piranhas]], [[en:rpd:spider_queen_mob|Spider Queen]], [[en:rpd:yogs_brain_mob|Yog's Brain]], [[en:rpd:yogs_heart_mob|Yog's Heart]], [[en:rpd:yogs_teeth_mob|Yog's Teeth]], [[en:rpd:burning_fist_mob|Burning Fist]], [[en:rpd:rotting_fist_mob|Rotting Fist]], [[en:rpd:earthen_guardian_mob|Earthen Guardian]], [[en:rpd:earth_elemental_mob|Earth Elementals]], [[en:rpd:yogsheart_mob|Yog's Heart]] (duplicate entry), [[en:rpd:mirror_image_npc|Mirror Images]]
  * **[[en:rpd:resistances|Resistances]]**: [[en:rpd:ring_of_elements_item|Ring of Elements]] can provide resistance
  * **[[en:rpd:cure_mechanics|Curing]]**: [[en:rpd:potion_of_purity_item|Potion of Purity]] removes the effect

==== Effects of Burning ====
  * **Continuous Damage**: Takes 1 + (Dungeon.depth / 2) to 5 + (Dungeon.depth / 2) damage each turn
  * **Item Destruction**: Carried items have a chance to be burned and destroyed
  * **Terrain Ignition**: Can ignite flammable terrain at the character's position
  * **Fire Spread**: Spreads to adjacent flammable tiles if standing on flammable terrain
  * **[[en:rpd:light|Light Generation]]**: Provides light for the hero character
  * **[[en:rpd:haste_spell|Haste]]**: Extinguished when combined with haste effect
  * **[[en:rpd:frost_buff|Frost]]**: Frost immediately removes burning effect

==== Countering Burning ====
  * **[[en:rpd:potion_of_purity_item|Potion of Purity]]**: Can cleanse status effects including burning
  * **Water Terrain**: Standing in water typically extinguishes burning (if not flying)
  * [[en:rpd:frost_buff|Frost]]: Removes burning immediately
  * **[[en:rpd:ring_of_elements_item|Ring of Elements]]**: Provides resistance reducing duration
  * **[[en:rpd:levitation_buff|Levitation]]**: Prevents contact with water (if you're burning and levitating, you can't put the fire out in water)

==== Extinguishing Conditions ====
Burning is removed when:
  * **Water Contact**: Entering water tile while not flying
  * **[[en:rpd:frost_buff|Frost]]**: Applied to character (frost removes burning)
  * **[[en:rpd:duration|Duration Expires]]**: Random chance based on 2 + (hp/ht) / 3 formula
  * **[[en:rpd:potion_of_purity_item|Potion of Purity]]**: Applied to character
  * **Death**: Character dies while burning

==== Special Mechanics ====
  * **Hero Death**: Causes "Burned to death" failure message
  * **Terrain Interaction**: Can ignite flammable terrain at position
  * **Light Effect**: Activates Light buff for hero with 1.01f duration
  * **[[en:rpd:badges|Badge]]**: "Death from fire" badge is validated when hero dies from burning
  * **Item Burning**: Can burn carried items with visual effects at the character's position
