Fire Lance - Red Wizard

(See also: Lance of Fire (Magic Lance))

This spell creates a burning lance of flame that leaps from its caster's hand, hitting automatically and inflicting 1d6 points of damage per level of the caster, to a maximum of 10d6. Unlike many other fire spells, fire lance does not damage clothing or equipment.

The material component is a lit torch in the caster's hand or one fire source of at least torch size within 30 feet of the caster. Casting this spell extinguishes a torch-sized fire source but only slightly diminishes a larger source.

Notes: Common for Red Wizards of Thay; uncommon for Fire mages; otherwise very rare.
