- **Components:** V

Flames wreathe one creature you can see within range. The target must make a Dexterity saving throw. It takes `dice:8d6|noform|noparens|avg` (`8d6`) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. On a failed save, the target also burns for the spell's duration. The burning target sheds bright light in a 30-foot radius and dim light for an additional 30 feet. At the end of each of its turns, the target repeats the saving throw. It takes `dice:4d6|noform|noparens|avg` (`4d6`) fire damage on a failed save, and the spell ends on a successful one. These magical flames can't be extinguished by nonmagical means.
If damage from this spell kills a target, the target is turned to ash.
