Heatwave
5-level Evocation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range/Area: Self (~30-foot cube)
Components: V, S
Duration: 1 minute
You create a blistering heat in an area originating from
you. The area can be up to 30 feet in each dimension. Each
creature that ends its turn in the area must make a Constitution saving
throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 6d8 fire damage
and gains 1 level of exhaustion. On a successful save, a
creature takes half as much damage and is not exhausted.
Any exhaustion levels caused by this spell go away when
it ends.
At higher levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot
of 6th level or higher, the spell deals an extra 1d8 damage
for each slot level above 5th. World Anvil: The Ultimate Worldbuilding Toolset & RPG Campaign Manager
