If a paladin successfully gets the Fire of Judgement onto a foe, and the foe casts an AOE spell, does this count as an attack for the purposes of Fire of Judgement? For 1d6, or a d6 for each creature in the AOE? Does it matter whether or not the paladin is in the AOE?
Thanks.
Fire of Judgement:
After casting this spell, the next creature you attack using your smite evil class ability is engulfed in flames of positive energy. At the start of its turn, the target takes 1d6 points of damage, and takes an additional 1d6 points of damage each time it attacks a creature other than you. If the creature is an outsider with the evil subtype, an evil-aligned dragon, or an undead creature this damage increases to 1d10. With a successful saving throw, a creature is affected by this spell for only 1 round. This damage is divine in nature and bypasses any DR the creature possesses.
Fire of Judgement does not have the invisibility spell clause that expands the definition of attack, so I would go with only things that involve attack rolls count in this case.

It was the Invisibilty description of attacks that made us question it.
