 {{s|BURNDAYRAZ}} is the fireball [[glyph]], and one of the only ways to deal magic damage to monsters.  When cast on enemy monsters, they will take magical damage and will not be able to attack the player back.  With the exception of special challenges, this glyph will always be found in every single dungeon you play.  It is a versatile and well-balanced offensive glyph that virtually any character can use effectively.

 As a repeatable glyph, {{s|BURNDAYRAZ}} is quite useful for damage spiking monsters, allowing you to quickly unload all your mana into damage.  Additionally, by accruing the {{t|Burning}} effect, the glyph can be used to reduce the health regeneration of monsters and add damage to the next attack against the target.  This can be combined with the {{s|APHEELSIK}} or {{s|BLUDTUPOWA}} to excellent effect.  Either way, {{s|BURNDAYRAZ}} works best with characters who have a large mana capacity.
-{{s|BURNDAYRAZ}} is particularly useful for dealing with enemies that have {{t|Death protection}}.  The fireball itself will deal damage and expend a layer of {{t|Death protection}}, but it will also leave the target {{t|Burning}}.  By attacking a different monster, the burning effect will expire and deal 1 point of damage, which will knock out a second layer of {{t|Death protection}}!

 The weakness of {{s|BURNDAYRAZ}} is that it's not very efficient.  A L10 character can cast this spell for 40 damage, but even without ''any'' extra bonuses whatsoever a L10 character can expect to deal 65 damage on a physical attack.  Characters which have put significant effort into raising their attack damage will find the damage dealt by {{s|BURNDAYRAZ}} quite pathetic by comparison and are well-served by looking for other ways to spend their mana.

-As the basic magical attack glyph, BURNDAYRAZ is used by most characters to supplement their physical attack and give them a good way to spend their mana.  Because the glyph can be cast repeatedly, it is one of the best ways to use mana potions in order to "damage [[spike]]" a boss at the end of the game, and is particularly worthwhile for [[elf|elves]] and [[gnome]]s as a result.
