Simple flame is a basic spell in the school of fire magic that creates a small flame in the palm of the hand, the tip of the finger, or at the end of a catalyst.
The first spell most aspiring pyromancers learn, it is known by every fire mage and passed down through generations from teachers to students.
When cast with the simple invocation and exertion of will a small and weak flame will form at the desired point. It is hot enough to catch objects on fire given enough exposure, and as bright as a candle. The flame is easily snuffed out in rain or by a strong gust of wind.
Remotely casting the spell away from the body such as at a nearby location requires a basic understanding of Pyrokinesis, and is the very first spell practiced to remote cast by those learning pyrokinesis.
Simple flame can be cast by any mage with even the most basic affinity for fire magic. By giving the most basic exertion of will and chanting an activation invocation such as “Ignis” or a similar word of power and focussing on a point of contact will activate the spell at the desired location.
The advanced form of this spell is Ember Wisp; A spell that creates a floating wisp of fire.
