Burning Buff

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.

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 Potion of Purity.

• Spread: Can spread to adjacent flammable terrain when on a flammable tile
