Rolan's Fireball

For the original spell, see  Fireball.

Rolan's Fireball is a level 4 evocation spell. It is a special version of Fireball only used by  Rolan if Lorroakan is defeated and Rolan becomes the master of Ramazith's Tower. It allows him to unleash a large explosion at a chosen point within range and causing foes to drop equipped weapons.

Description

Shoot a bright flame from your fingers that explodes upon contact, torching everything in the vicinity and  Heating metal weapons and armour caught in the flames.

If the creature is only wearing metal armour, it always receives Disadvantage.

If the creature is still touching the metal, you can use a bonus action on subsequent turns to deal another and force the creature to let go or receive Disadvantage.
