Flame Strike

[Mogre]

The range listed for this spell is 12 yards (6 hexes). My question is how does this work out with the spell's description? I've been playing it as the caster must be within 12 yards of the fire source and bolt can strike an opponent within 12 yards of the fire source, an actual total of 24 yards. My question is, if this isn't right, how close does the caster have to be to the fire source?

The Range is from caster to the target (that's for all spells, Range is always from caster to target, doesn't interfere with areas, requirements, components, etc.).
The fire source, you'll need at close range (torch in your hand, standing next to the fire, etc.), it can't modify the actual engagement range.
So, the caster can't attack anyone farther away than 12 yards with this, regardless of where the fire is.
