Your hand heats to an uncomfortable temperature just moments before you release the spell’s energy in the form of an orb of white flames speeding from your outwardfacing palm.
An orb of fire about 3 inches across shoots from your palm at its target, dealing 1d6 points of fire damage per caster level (maximum 15d6). You must succeed on a ranged touch attack to hit your target.
A creature struck by the orb takes damage and becomes dazed by the heat for 1 round. A successful Fortitude save negates the dazed effect but does not reduce the damage.
