Burning Hands

     When the wizard casts this spell, a jet of searing flame shoots from his fingertips. His hands must be hald so as to send forth a fanlike sheet of flames the wizard's thumbs must touch each other and his fingers must be spread. The burning hands send out flame jets of five-foot length in a horizonal arc of about 120 degrees in front of the wizard. Any creature in the area of the flames suffers 1d3 hit points of damage, plus 2 points for each level of the spellcaster, to a maximun of 1d3 + 20 points of fire damage. Those successfully saving vs. spell receive half damage.
