This spell has two versions, one of which must be chosen while casting the spell. The first version evokes a jet of flame (as bright as a single candle) from your index finger. This flame is harmless to you, but useful for any simple fire-lighting tasks, from lighting your pipe or a lamp to starting a small campfire. You can extinguish and re-ignite the flame at will while the duration lasts, but it cannot be put out by mundane means. Only a successful targeted dispel magic can put out the flame before it expires. This version of the spell lasts 1 round per 2 levels, maximum 10 rounds at 20th level. The second version of the spell is instantaneous, evoking all of the spell’s energy at once in a single hot flame at one target creature or object. If you hit with a ranged touch attack, the target takes 1d3+1 per 5 levels, max +4 at 20th level, hit points of fire damage. Only a character with at least a +2 ability bonus in Dexterity or 3 ranks in Acrobatics gets a Reflex save for half damage due to the extreme speed of this fire attack.

Author's Note: I created this one when the GM told me Prestidigitation could not create fire, not even enough to light my candle or pipe!
