Effects

Effects

The caster unleashes a serpentine torrent of blue-gold flame that deals 6d6 fire damage to all creatures in the line. Additionally, magical barriers touched by the flame flicker and may weaken, causing a potential loss of spell effects. With Merlin's Sweep, the caster can create a semicircular wall of arcane fire that forces enemies back, pushing them 10 feet away. Using the Charged Form, the caster can summon a Pillar of the First Flame at a chosen point, dealing 4d8 fire damage to all creatures in a 10-foot radius and igniting them for 1 minute, causing 1d6 fire damage at the start of their turns.
