Burning Hands

When the wizard casts this spell, a jet of searing flame shoots from his fingertips. His hands must be held so as to send forth a fanlike sheet of flames: The wizard's thumbs must touch each other and the fingers must be spread.

The burning hands send out flame jets 5 feet long in a horizontal arc of about 120 degrees in front of the wizard.

Any creature in the area of the flames suffers d3 points of damage, plus 2 points for each level of experience of the spellcaster, to a maximum of d3+20 points of fire damage. Those successfully saving vs. spell receive half damage.

Flammable materials touched by the fire burn (for example, cloth, paper, parchment, thin wood, etc.). Such materials can be extinguished in the next round if no other action is taken.
