The Burning Hands spell sends out 5-ft. jets of flame from the wizard's fingertips.

When the wizard casts this spell, a jet of searing flame shoots from his fingertips. The wizard's hands must be held so as to send forth a fanlike sheet of flames: his thumbs must touch each other and the fingers must be spread. The burning hands send out flame jets of 5 ft. length in a horizontal arc of about 120 degrees in front of the wizard. The target suffers 1d3 points of damage, +2 points for each level of the caster, to a maximum of 1d3+20 points of fire damage. A creature that successfully saves vs. Spell receives half damage.
