Flame Blade

Effect

When a priest casts this spell, he causes a blazing ray of red-hot fire to spring forth from his hand. This blade is actually wielded as if it were a scimitar (but it is not a scimitar), and if the priest scores a successful hit while employing the blade, the creature struck will take 2d6 points of damage - with a damage bonus of +2 if the creature is especially vulnerable to fire (it will work especially well versus undead or ice para-elementals). The flame blade will ignite combustible materials. The blade will not affect creatures that can only be hit by magic weapons, except with respect to undead.
