While many mages are proficient at the creation of a firebolt, few have mastered fire magic to the point where they can continue to charge energy into a spell. As you cast pyroblast, you may concentrate for up to 1 round per caster level before choosing a target and releasing the annihilating sphere of magma. Pyroblast deals 17d8 points of fire damage if released on the round you cast it; but for each round you concentrate, the damage increases by +2 points per caster level. If you fail a Concentration check to maintain concentration on the spell (because you take damage, for instance, the spell releases in an uncontrollable blast, dealing 17d8 points of fire damage to you and everything within 10 feet. For example, if Arcaisme, a 19th-level mage, concentrated on casting pyroblast for 3 rounds before finally releasing it at the target, the spell would deal a massive 17d8+114 points of fire damage (2 x 19 x 3 = 114).
