Offensive
Components
A firecracker (consumed)
A staff
Description:
Often known as CEIB, this Agatean spell allows you to summon a swarm of butterflies to attack a single target. In attacking the target, the butterflies not only cause damage, but also serve as a distraction. A clever wizard can utilise this distraction to escape from a hostile target, or, they can take advantage of the distraction to strike further while they have less need to vigorously defend themselves for a few moments.

The damage the spell causes is quite respectable, though not in the same league as purely damage spells. The fire crackers can be obtained most easily in the Bes Pelargic guild, though there are other sources in fireworks or party stores. If you're paying for them, they can set you back a little over a dollar each.
 
Comments:
This spell can give a wizard a few more options in their offensive repertoire, even at high levels. You should however take into account the potential personal lethality of this spell when considering whether you are skilled enough to cast it.
