• Range: Self (60-foot cone)
• Components: V, S, M (a chunk of basalt)

Crackling hellish flame and acrid smoke pour forth from your hands, engulfing a 60-foot cone area of your choice. Creatures within the area of effect must make a successful Dexterity saving throw or take 10d6 fire damage and become incapacitated until the end of their next turn, as their lungs fill with the poisonous smoke. A creature that succeeds on its saving throw takes half as much damage and isn’t incapacitated. Creatures immune to poison are immune to the incapacitating effects of this spell.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, the fire damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 5th.
