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 caster, to a maximum of 10d6.
The material component is a lit torch 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 diminishes it slightly if the fire is larger.
Unlike a fireball's effect, the victim's clothing and possessions are untouched by the flame. This enables the caster to torch a victim without worrying that magical items (or companions) will be destroyed in the conflagration.
