You evoke a fiery blade in your free hand. The blade is similar in size and shape to a scimitar, and it lasts for the duration. It counts as a simple melee weapon with which you are proficient, and provides bright light in a 20-foot radius and dim light for an additional 20 feet. It deals 2d6 fire damage on a hit and has the finesse, light, and thrown properties (range 20/60). If you hit a flammable creature or object, it ignites, taking 1d6 fire damage at the start of each of its turns until a creature uses its action to douse the flames on itself or another creature. If you drop the weapon or throw it, it dissipates at the end of the turn. Thereafter, while the spell persists, you can use a bonus action to cause the blade to reappear in your hand.
