A burning ray shoots out at the target from your upturned palm. The sound of a crackling fire follows the ray’s path.

You must succeed on a ranged touch attack with the ray to strike a target. If your attack is successful, the ray deals 1d6 points of fire damage per two caster levels (maximum 5d6). The target must also make a Reflex save or catch fire, taking 1d6 points of fire damage each round until the flames are put out (requiring a DC 15 Reflex save; see Catching on Fire, DMG 303).

Focus: A small, polished glass lens.
