Notes
- The blade can be equipped in either the main hand or the off hand, and can be unequipped, but must stay on the spellcaster's person. The blade has no Weapon Actions tied to it other than basic attack.
- The blade uses the spellcaster's Spellcasting Ability (Wisdom for Druids or Charisma for Tieflings) for
Attack rolls instead of Strength or Dexterity, but as with most spell attacks no modifier is added to the Damage Roll. - The incantation for Flame Blade is Para Bellum, Latin for "prepare for war".
