I'm a high-level mage and use Burst of Flames often. SeanAK924, as you've mentioned, you'll certainly be getting a bit over 70XP for each cast, but the boss damage will be only around 50 at most (there are ways to confirm that by using the API to examine your account's data after each skill cast, or by using the [User Data Display tool](https://oldgods.net/habitrpg/habitrpg_user_data_display.html).

With a mostly-full mana bar, I can take out the strongest bosses (Vice and others) in a single day, and frequently do so in my party of myself alone. However I would not do that if I was in a party with other people who wanted to use the quest for motivation.

To the original poster and Harpereaves: I think it is reasonable for the party to ask strong mages to limit or avoid use of Burst of Flames if the majority of the party would prefer that. Using BoF multiple times is officially allowed of course (and there was nothing wrong with Harpereaves doing so since I assume Harpereaves was not aware that some of the party would prefer that didn't happen), but individual parties can have their own playing styles and guidelines. The primary purpose of quests is to provide motivation for performing tasks, so a party certainly is justified in having polite discussions about anything that is removing motivation and developing their own rules about that.
