You strike the ground with both palms, and a web of flame crackles out around you. Five streaks of fire rapidly snake along the ground toward up to five creatures within 60 feet of you, leaping towards their target and exploding into a column of flame. Each target must make a Dexterity saving throw, taking 8d6 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one.

Alternatively, you can converge all five streaks of fire toward a single target dealing 12d6 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one.

The fire can travel over obstacles up to 5 feet high and ignites any flammable objects along its path that aren't being worn or carried.

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