This spell is cast as a charm. When broken it causes the area within 10 yards to go up in flames.
Typical Casting: Greater Create Energy (6) + Damage, External Burning 9d (8) + Area of Effect 10 yards (8) +Lesser Control Magic (5). 81 energy (27x3).

What exactly are you comparing this to? Replacing External Burning and Area of Effect with External Burning Explosive1 results in 10d damage for the same price. It's a bit stronger at the point of impact (and if you actually hit your target you automatically do maximum damage, as a contact explosion), but tapers off more rapidly. Seems like a fair trade to me.
