This version of Pragi's other work likewise creates a ball of fire, however in this case, the resulting ball of fire can be directed into an adjacent room. If the caster does not 'direct' the spell quickly enough, or if the caster happens to be mistaken about the direction they attempt to send the shuffler, the fire ball will remain in the room with the caster and explode. Unlike fiery gaze, the caster is not at the centre of the expanding fire, and so is harmed along with the other occupants, in some circumstances even fatally.

At times the spell might be useful in that it technically allows you to vanquish some opponents without them attacking you at all, which may be beneficial. However, it is a much weaker spell, and the components can be a significant issue, particularly regarding their weight. Because of these limitations, lost gaze is not used even near as often as it's fiery counterpart, and many wizards do not use it at all. Most wizards tend to use pfg and rely on their shields to protect them.
