Earth's Bile
Your apparition is the will of lava and magma made manifest, the earth's molten blood unleashing devastating bursts of liquid stone and unquenchable fire at your command. When you Cast this Spell and the first time you Sustain it each round thereafter, choose an area within range. Each creature in the area takes 1d4 fire damage, 1d4 bludgeoning damage, and scaling persistent fire damage (the persistent fire damage is negated on a successful save).
Heightened (+2) The fire and bludgeoning damage each increase by 1d4, and the persistent fire damage increases by 1.

Focus spells are a special type of spell attained directly from a branch of study, from a deity, or from another specific source. You can learn focus spells only through special class features or feats, rather than choosing them from a spell list. Furthermore, you cast focus spells using a special pool of Focus Points—you can't prepare a focus spell in a spell slot or use your spell slots to cast focus spells; similarly, you can't spend your Focus Points to cast spells that aren't focus spells.
