# Brandish Blaze > [!info] Spell Details > | | | > |---|---| > | **Level** | Cantrip | > | **School** | [[Evocation]] | > | **Casting Time** | 1 Action | > | **Range** | Self (5-foot sphere) | > | **Components** | S, M *(a melee weapon worth at least 1 sp)* | > | **Duration** | Instantaneous | > | **Classes** | Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard, Artificer | --- ## Description You brandish the weapon used in the spell's casting and make a melee attack with it against one creature within 5 feet of you. On a hit, the target suffers the weapon attack's normal effects, and you can cause fire to leap from the target to a different creature of your choice that you can see within 5 feet of it. The second creature takes fire damage equal to your spellcasting ability modifier. --- ## At Higher Levels This spell's damage increases when you reach certain levels. At 5th level, the melee attack deals an extra **1d8 fire damage** to the target on a hit, and the fire damage to the second creature increases to **1d8 + your spellcasting ability modifier**. Both damage rolls increase by **1d8** at 11th level (**2d8** and **2d8**) and 17th level (**3d8** and **3d8**).
