Description of the Spell
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 1d3 points
of damage, plus 2 points for each level of experience of the spell-
caster, to a maximum of 1d3+20 points of fire damage. Those suc-
cessfully 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.
