Burning Hands
-------------

*1st-level evocation*

**Casting Time:** 1 action

**Range:** Self (15-foot cone)

**Components:** V, S

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.

The fire ignites any flammable objects in the area that aren't being
worn or carried.

:bi:`At Higher Levels`. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of
2nd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level
above 1st.
