Evocation [Fire]
Level: Sorcerer 2, Wizard 2
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: 0 ft.
Effect: A daggerlike beam
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: Yes
You evoke the spell and a blazing beam of red-hot fire springs forth from your hand, ready to be used as a weapon.
You create a bladelike beam that you can wield as if it were a dagger. Attacks with a flame dagger are melee touch attacks, and the blade deals 1d4 points of fire damage +1 point per caster level (to a maximum of +10). Because the blade is immaterial, your Strength modifier does not apply to the damage. A flame dagger can ignite combustible materials such as parchment, straw, dry sticks, cloth, and so on.
This spell does not function underwater.
Material Component: A candle.
