Cremation is a spell that explodes a corpse, turning it into a volcanic geyser that rapidly creates projectiles that explode for fire damage.

Skill functions and interactions

Fires 32 projectiles over an 8 second duration. Each projectile can hit the same enemy.

Additional projectiles: Scales total number of projectiles. For example, with Greater Multiple Projectiles Support (1+3+4), this skill fires 64 projectiles over the duration.
Critical strike chance: Each projectiles roll own critical strike chance.
Cast speed: Only affects the speed to create a geyser. Fire frequency is not changed.
Area of effect: Affects both the area the projectiles cover and the distance they travel from the geyser.
Projectile speed: Faster projectiles land sooner after they are fired. AoE is not changed.
Pierce and Chain: Don't affect the skill.
The Projectiles are fired per second, so increasing the Duration of the skill increases the total number of Projectiles. (If you make Cremation have a Duration of 12 seconds, you will get a total of 48 Projectiles.)

Item acquisition

Cremation can drop anywhere. Drop level: 28.
