A flame strike produces a vertical column of divine fire roaring downward. The spell
deals 1d6 points of damage per caster level (maximum 15d6). Half the damage is fire
damage, but the other half results directly from divine power and is therefore not
subject to being reduced by resistance to fire-based attacks, such as that granted by
protection from energy (fire), fire shield (chill shield), and similar magic.
