The others "simply" detonate, creating a blast wave which may in turn project shrapnel. The detonation produces heat, but not necessarily fire. Cartridges and shells do rely on fire to ignite though, so your anti-fire spell would prevent rifles from working, but not hand-grenades, for instance. | |

The wizards won't do that on purpose, but since they cast the "no fire" on Marines, and then those weird machines nearby always stop working they ll figure it out quite quickly | |
