Description
As you hold your hands with thumbs touching and fingers spread, a thin sheet of flames shoots forth from your outstretched fingertips. Each creature in a 15-foot Cone must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 3d6 Fire damage on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one. Flammable objects in the area that aren't being worn or carried start burning.
At Higher Levels
The damage increases by 1d6 for each spell slot level above 1.
