Consume Flame

5th-level transmutation (Cleric, Druid, Ranger, Sorcerer, Wizard)


  • Casting Time: 1 action
  • Range: Touch
  • Components: S
  • Duration: Instantaneous

You touch an open flame and extinguish it, absorbing its power. You gain temporary hit points based on the size and power of the fire. Touching a source of fire as part of this spell does not harm you. If the consumed fire is a nonmagical flame the size of a Medium creature or smaller, you gain 5 temporary hit points. The number of temporary hit points gained increases by 5 for each size category above Medium.

If the consumed fire is an ongoing spell effect, then the spell ends and you gain a number of temporary hit points equal to 10 plus 5 per spell level of the spell consumed.

You can also consume the heat from lava, cooling and hardening it in the process. You gain temporary hit points equal to the radius (in feet) of the area of lava cooled, up to a maximum radius of 30 feet.
