With one stern, commanding word, you gesture to a point on the ground within range, and the indicated spot erupts in a shower of rock, dirt, and fire. Each creature in a 20-foot radius sphere centered on that point takes 5d6 fire damage and must make a Dexterity saving throw. A target that fails the saving throw is knocked prone and takes additional bludgeoning damage equal to the fire damage. The fire also ignites flammable objects in the area that aren't being worn or carried.

After the spell ends, the area of the spell becomes difficult terrain until it is cleared. Each 5-foot-square portion of the area requires at least 1 minute to clear by hand.

Earth-based or fire-based elemental creatures do not take damage from this spell.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the fire damage increases by 1d6 for each level above 4th.
