Effect

You create one of the following effects:

Damage

You can attack with any flame within range, ending any flames in a 1-meter-cube, or you can create a flame as part of this spell. If you do, make a ranged spell attack at a target of your choice within range, on a hit the target takes Xd10 heat damage.

At higher levels, if you deal damage in an area or to multiple targets, each creature must make a contested Reflex check or take Xd6 heat damage on a failed check, or half as much on a successful one.

Control

You create or cause one of the following effects within a 1-meter-cube within range:

Create Flame: You create a flickering flame, which can be placed in your hand. The flame remains for 10 minutes, harms neither you nor your equipment, or until you dismiss it. The flame sheds bright light in a 10-foot radius and dim light for an additional 10 feet.
Spreading Fire: You expand non-magical flames in one direction, provided that wood or other fuel is present in the new location.
Extinguish: You extinguish any non-magical flames.

Shaping

You change the flames within a 1-meter-cube within range. If you cast this spell multiple times, you can have up to three Shaping effects active at a time, and you can dismiss such an effect as a bonus action. Each effect lasts T(+2).

Luminosity: You double or halve the area of bright light and dim light cast by a flame, change its color, or both.
Fire Shapes: You cause simple shapes—such as the vague form of a creature, an inanimate object, or a location—to appear within a flame and animate as you like.

At higher levels

When casting this spell at higher levels, you may add the following changes to the spell. You may only choose one area of effect. Casting at higher levels requires expending spell points, but will have higher power values (X) or time values (T), that often increase damage, range, and/or durations.

At 1st level

Cone: Your chosen effect instead affects a 2X-meter-cone in the direction of your choice from you.
Emanation: Your chosen effect instead affects the area X-meter-radius around you.

At 2nd level

Your effects gain the following upgrades:

Damage: For a duration of T, you may hold your concentration on the spell to keep the flames burning within the area. Each creature within the area that ends its turn there or the first time a creature moves inside the area, it must make a contested Reflex check, on a failure the creature takes Xd4 heat damage.
Control: You can extinguish any magical flames of a spell level equal to or lower than the spell level of this spell.
Shaping: You can animate more intricate shapes within the flames, allowing the creation of more detailed forms, including humanoid figures or basic, symbolic constructs.

At 3rd level

Line: Your chosen effect instead affects a 4X-by-S-meter line in the direction of your choice from you.
Split: Your chosen effect instead affects X targets (or 1-meter-cubes) of your choice within range.

At 4th level

Your effects gain the following upgrades:

Damage: Any creature that you hit or that fails its contested Reflex check becomes briefly ignited, suffering an additional Xd4 heat damage at the end of its next turn unless it uses a Minor Action to extinguish the flames.
Control: You may expand non-magical flames in any direction and into any space within your spells area, provided that wood or other fuel is present in the new location.
Shaping: You make any non-magical flames produce no heat. This also prevents them from spreading or harming creatures.

At 5th level

Burst: Your chosen effect instead affects a X-meter-radius sphere from a point of your choice within range.
Wall: Your chosen effect instead affects a 5X-meter long, 2X-meter high, and 1X-meter thick wall of fire in a shape of your choice within range.

At 6th level

Any effect that orginates from you, may instead come from any flame within range. Additionally, when you cast any non-damaging effect, such as a Control or Shaping effect, you may double its area of effect.

At 7th level

Chain: Your chosen effect instead affects X targets (or 1-meter-cubes) of your choice within range, with each successive target within X meters of the previous target.
Cylinder: Your chosen effect instead affects a X/2-meter-radius by 3X-meter-high cylinder from a point of your choice within range.

At 8th level

The following advanced versions of each effect are added:

Damage: Any creature that is ignited by flames or is standing within a burning area that fails their contested Reflex check is also considered to be suffocating until the flames are extinguished or the creature has escaped the flames.
Control: The flames you create or control last indefinitely unless extinguished by magical means or if you choose to extinguish them.
Shaping: You may create intricate, solidified shapes from fire that last for the spell’s duration. These can include bridges of flame, barriers, or abstract structures that are difficult to pass through.

At 9th level

At this level, the spell gains a unique area of effect bonus:

Double Cast: You may select any two area-of-effect modifiers when casting the spell and apply both to the same effect.
