This firewall tactic works with any non-immune enemy. They will come up to a firewall and will not cross it except at the tile on which you cast the spell. They will always cross it at this location only. If there is an obstacle in that tile (such as a stone cursed enemy) they will not cross it at all. If there is room around the firewall, they will walk around it, but otherwise in a narrow hallway they have no other place to cross and will just wait. However, if you lay down two firewalls on top of each other, it won't work and they will just swarm over it like nothing was there.
A good way to use this tactic is to cast a firewall against non-fire immune enemies in a hallway directly in front of your feet and stand there. The enemies will group behind the wall while one steps into the firewall to engage you. It will stand in the firewall while attacking you, blocking the special tile they all want to enter. That will force all the ones behind it to pace behind the wall.
You can also lay a screen full of firewalls adjacent to each other and watch as they all cross slowly in single file. Just stand to block the way at the last one and watch them all sit there while roasting.
