You call forth a strange fire from some lost plane of existence. The fire remains in the palm of your hand for the duration of the spell and harms neither you nor your equipment. The black fire "eats" the light around it, reducing light conditions by one step in a 20-foot radius. Bright light conditions are reduced to dim light, and dim light conditions are reduced to natural darkness. The spell ends if you dismiss it as an action or if you cast it again.
You can also attack with the flame, although doing so ends the spell. When you cast this spell, or as an action on a later turn, you can hurl the flame at a creature within 30 feet of you. This is a ranged spell attack, and on a successful hit, the target takes 1d8 necrotic damage.
This spell’s damage increases by 1d8 when you reach 5th level (2d6), 11th level (3d6), and 17th level (4d6).
