Each creature in the area must make a Dexterity saving throw. Undead creatures have disadvantage on this saving throw. A creature takes 8d6 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

For each damage die that rolls a 5 or a 6, one ongoing spell or magical effect in the area is dispelled unless it is of a higher spell level than the spell slot used to cast this spell. The lowest-level spells in the area are dispelled first.

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