Scorch in Dungeons & Dragons 5e
Elementara
Scorch
0-level (Cantrip) Conjuration
Casting Time: 1 minute
Range/Area: 60 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: 1 minute
You ignite the ground in a 5-foot square space that
you can see within range, creating a surface of fire.
Any creature standing on the fire when you cast the
spell must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take
1d8 fire damage. A creature must also make the saving
throw when it moves into the fire’s space for the first
time on a turn or ends its turn there. If the target is
burning when it fails the saving throw for this spell,
it instead takes 1d12 fire damage.
The fire ignites flammable objects in its area that
aren’t being worn or carried. If you cast this spell again,
any existing fire surface created by this spell fades.
This spell’s damage increases by one die when you
reach 5th level (2d8 or 2d12), 11th level (3d8 or 3d12),
and 17th level (4d8 or 4d12)
