Flame orb

A flame orb in E2M7: The Great Hall

Flame orbs are the small ammo type used to power Heretic's phoenix rod. They provide the player with 1 shot (regardless of skill level), and are sometimes dropped by an ophidian when killed, although these provide 5 shots (7 on skills 1 and 5). Maulotaurs also occasionally drop flame orbs that can power the phoenix rod for 10 shots (15 on skills 1 and 5), an amount equal to that of inferno orb.
