Control Flames
0-level (Cantrip) Transmutation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range/Area: 60 feet
Components: S
Duration: Instantaneous or 1 hour
You choose nonmagical flame that you can see within range and that fits within a 5-foot cube. You affect it in one of the following ways:
At higher levels: At 5th level, you can quadruple the area of bright light and dim light cast by the flame. At 11th level, you can have up to six non-instantaneous effects active at a time and can dismiss such effects as a bonus action. Also, you may choose to affect any non-magical flames within range for the purposes of making them brighter or dimmer. At 17th level, you can affect flames within a 10-foot cube, may expand the flame 5 feet in any direction (provided that fuel is present in the new location) and the duration of non-instantaneous effects increases to 24 hours. - You instantaneously expand the flame 5 feet in one direction, provided that wood or other fuel is present in the new location.
- You instantaneously extinguish the flames within the cube.
- You double or halve the area of bright light and dim light cast by the flame, change its color, or both. The change lasts for 1 hour.
- You cause simple shapes—such as the vague form of a creature, an inanimate object, or a location—to appear within the flames and animate as you like. The shapes last for 1 hour.
