Flame Blade

Flame Blade is a Level 2 Evocation Spell. This spell allows spellcasters to summon a fiery scimitar in their free hand that sheds bright light. Casters can make a melee weapon attack with the blade to deal Fire damage to enemies.

"Conjure a flaming scimitar in your hand that deals 3d6 Fire. It sheds a bright light in a 3m / 10ft radius and a dim light in a 6m / 20ft radius. The flaming blade lasts until your next Long Rest. The blade can be unequipped and equipped again, but has to stay on the spellcaster's person."

Description

Conjure a flaming scimitar in your hand that deals 3d6Fire damage. It sheds a bright light in a 3m / 10ft radius and a dim light in a 6m / 20ft radius. The flaming blade lasts for 10 turns.

The blade can be equipped in either main hand or 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 spell modifier (Wisdom for druids or Charisma for tieflings) to hit instead of Strength or Dexterity, but no modifier is added the the damage roll.
