How does Brain-Fire work? Where I can find any stats for using it?

I can't remember to have ever heard of such thing! Where did you read about it?

I think it's the opposite of an ice cream headache.

HAH!

For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

I'm assuming you're referring to the disease itself...

So, here's what I could find online:-

Brain fire-- Fortitude DC 10, incubation period 1d3 days, damage 1d2 Con and 1d3 Wis. The save DC is Constitution-based and includes a +2 racial bonus.

Brain-Fire is mentioned in "Elminster's Daughter", quite in the beginning of the book.

Hey Mark, I was just reading through the Races of Faerun Web Enhancement Tower of Life and found them talking about something called mindfire in the description of the place. I then remembered you asking us here about something like this. I thought I would pass it on to you. It isn't exactly like BrainFire but it looks like it is alot more potent and Mages wouldn't like it at all.

Hope this is helpful.

Explanation by Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander: "People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People’s heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool."
