Tongue of Fire

You hold out your hand and a tongue of fire comes out of it. Make a ranged spell attack against the creature. On a hit, the target takes 1d12 fire damage.

The spell creates more than one tongue when you reach higher levels: two tongues at 5th level, three tongues at 11th level, and four tongues at 17th level. You can direct the tongues at the same target or at different ones. Make a separate attack roll for each tongue.
