Think about it this way... if you've ever played an RPG, just about as weak, if not weaker than, the first magic spells you'd get. IE: FF's Fire spell. If you didn't get any of that, I'll just write it out as I'd put it in the app.

[u]Fire Spell:[/u] Plain kobolds have the ability to cast a weak fire ball spell. Said fire spell is more useful in making campfires than it is in combat, though, it does, at least give them an option to use whatever little magic they actually have.
