The classic spell favored by novices and masters alike. However, variations allow the fireball to be customized and wielded as a succession of blazing rapid fire spheres, or it could become a large, explosive fire-and-forget projectile.

Usage Strategies
Ancestral Fireball is a very versatile skill. It can be modded to be used either as primary attack combat art, or as supporting one. Usage:
- damage and area of effect damage
- multi-hitting (up to 3 fireballs)
- up to 2 homing fireballs
Due to its damage to mobs being quickly outclassed by blazing tempest and damage to bosses being quickly outclassed by incendiary shower, it may be a good idea to mod incandescent skin, blazing tempest and incendiary shower before modding fireball.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Very versatile skill
- Can be used against single and multiple enemies
- Good damage and area of effect damage (with mod)
- Can get to extremely low casting times (like 0.5s)
- Can have up to 2 homing fireballs
Cons
- Homing fireballs miss if an enemy is behind an obstacle
- Area of effect damage is outclassed by Blazing Tempest
- If you pick Fusilade & Homing, the second fireball will target a different monster, though if you're close enough to the first target it will still hit that.
