Choose a metal object, you can see within range, of Medium size or less. You cause the object to heat up to the point of melting. Any creature in physical contact with the object takes 8d6 fire damage when you cast the spell. Until the spell ends, you can use a bonus action on each of your subsequent turns to cause this damage again. If a creature is holding, wearing, or otherwise covered in the object, it will take 8d8 fire damage at the start of your turn while the spell is active. Until they are no longer covered in that object, they have disadvantage on attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws.
If the spell lasts for the full duration, and the target is not a magic item, the item liquifies.
