 * Merge per BOZ; I see no RS'es (other than a couple of mentions without detail) on a brief search. Jclemens (talk) 07:05, 5 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - Fails WP:GNG. Unclear whether it refers to the novel, card game, or the fictional power, which would imply different redirect targets. Best to delete to avoid confusion.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 15:37, 5 October 2017 (UTC)
 * If we were talking about "Spellfire" without qualifiers, I would agree. Are you saying that it's sufficiently confusing/convoluted that it'd be a poor redirect/merge even with the "(Forgotten Realms)" qualifier? Jclemens (talk) 03:27, 9 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes. "Spellfire" is a novel that takes place in the Forgotten Realms universe. The Spellfire card game also contains Forgotten Realms cards. So even with the disambig, it's not obvious.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 03:14, 10 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Merge and redirect per . Having read the articles I'm not sure that the confusion is warning against is a really a problem. The redirect target is the first user of the spell in question and is the protagonist of a book named after the spell. Seems pretty cut and dried to me? (Caveat: I'm a nerd, but not a D&D nerd.)

 * Merge as per BOZ;(caveat, I am a D&D nerd, but we don't need 1000 pages on every D & D creature/spell/+5 magical sword of Wikipedia editor Frustration on wikipedia!) Deathlibrarian (talk) 04:25, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
