How to use
Release the scroll to spend BLACK_FLAME_MANA_COST and apply Mystic Eyes of the Black Flame for BLACK_FLAME_TIME ticks. Recasting while active adds the configured duration to the remaining time.
Function
Igniting a creature
Every BLACK_FLAME_IGNITION_TICKS, the spell first checks for a living entity directly under the unobstructed crosshair within BLACK_FLAME_RANGE_FROM_USER. If one is found, it receives Black Burning for BLACK_FLAME_DEBUFF_TIME ticks; continuing to look at it refreshes that duration.
Black Burning deals BLACK_FLAME_DAMAGE Wither damage once per second and appears as black fire around the creature.
Creating black flames
Moving the crosshair over a nearby surface creates a trail of Black Flame up to BLACK_FLAME_RANGE_FROM_USER blocks away.
Living entities touching a flame receive Black Burning for BLACK_FLAME_DEBUFF_TIME ticks. Rain removes placed flames, and flames need a solid supporting face or a neighboring flammable block.
Flame lifetime
BLACK_FLAME_UPDATE_TICKS controls how often placed flames can age, and BLACK_FLAME_DEATH_AGE controls when a flame can disappear.
