Spell: Burning Hands
Burning Hands (1st level mage)
Casting Time: 1 round
Duration: Instantaneous
Range: 15 feet
Each creature in a 15-foot-long cone (45 degree angle) of fire erupting from the mage's fingers must make a Moldvay save vs spells. This spell can hit one Medium-sized creature standing 5-feet from you, up to two such creatures at 10-ft distance, and up to 3 at 15-ft. Any creature in the area of the flames takes 1d4 points of fire damage per caster level (to a maximum 5d4). Re-roll '1' results. If attuned to one or more magic items on your person, also re-roll '2' results. And, of course, 4's explode. A successful saving throw halves the damage. Flammable materials burn if the flames touch them. A character can extinguish burning items as a full-round action.
The fire ignites any flammable objects in the area that aren't being worn or carried.
At higher levels: when you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, add +1 to the difficulty of the saving throw.
