Each creature in a 20-foot-radius sphere centered on that point must make a Dexterity saving throw. A target takes **8d6 fire damage** on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one. The fire spreads around corners. It ignites flammable objects in the area that aren't being worn or carried. --- ## At Higher Levels When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the damage increases by **1d6** for each slot level above 3rd.
