@Bunt, lesse on the Burning Gaze scroll ...
The spell it is based on does minimal damage at whomever is targeted by the spell caster unless they make a saving throw. It lasts for 1 round per caster level. So to translate this, let's go with this:
- Once read (including the turn it is read), the effect will last for three turns. Each turn you may select one target. That target must make a Save Test or take 1 point of damage. If they take a point of damage, they must make another Save test the following turn or take another point of damage. If a target is burning, choosing them again has no affect.
Effect of your casting is that you picked one of the zombies. Since all six were destroyed anyway, the one you hit started burning, but it didn't have a practical effect because it was already destroyed by another attack, and the skeleton left the burning flesh behind. However, you have two more turns in which to use the spell.
@WanderOne, I am not following what Cords is trying to do. Is he trying to see if this is an illusion or deception? If so, it isn't and he's pretty sure it isn't. You may still use both of your Actions.
