Concentrated Explosion is a spell that drastically lowers the radius of an explosive projectile while increasing its damage.

Tips

  • Concentrated Explosion reduces explosion radius by 30 when the projectile is cast, but adds an extra entity that changes the explosion radius again after one frame to be 5. If the projectile has one frame lifetime, only -30 radius change happens.
    • The radius reduction only applies when exploding projectiles are fired at a range. For example, when this modifier is applied to Energy Orb, the projectile will not destroy terrain when fired at range, but will still be a digging tool when fired point blank on the terrain.
    • Spells such as Explosion will not have radius modified (at least regarding terrain destruction) regardless of how many copies of this modifier are applied or whether the spells are cast point blank on terrain or not. This is because it takes 1 frame for the explosion to be modified, so projectiles that die before then will have a cast delay reduction but not an explosion reduction.
  • Due to this, the explosive will do no damage whatsoever unless it detonates inside an enemy hitbox, which makes this spell limited in practical uses.
  • When stacking explosion damage on endgame wands, limiting the explosion radius while increasing damage is very desirable to keep the game running.
  • This can be used to turn a nuke into a large radius Earthquake projectile.
  • Unlike Remove Explosion, it can reduce the explosiveness of Explosive Boxes, Unstable Crystals, Propane Tanks, Lightning Bolts, or Thunder Charges, making them relatively safer to cast.
