.. _`Fireball`:

Fireball
--------

*3rd-level evocation*

**Casting Time:** 1 action

**Range:** 150 feet

**Components:** V, S, M (a tiny ball of bat guano and sulfur)

**Duration:** Instantaneous

A bright streak flashes from your pointing finger to a point you choose
within range and then blossoms with a low roar into an explosion of
flame. Each creature in a 20-foot radius sphere centered on that point
must make a Dexterity saving throw. A target takes 8d6 fire damage on a
failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

The fire spreads around corners. It ignites 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
4th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level
above 3rd.
