Those touching the fire aura suffer 2d4 points of damage; additionally, if the touched victim fails to make his saving throw, his body is set afire with green flames.
The flames persist for 2d4 rounds. Each round the victim is engulfed in these flames, he suffers an additional 1d6 points of damage; the victim's attack rolls are made with a -2 penalty during this time. The material components for this spell are a scrap of singed paper and a piece of flint.
