Flame arrows

Flame arrows, sometimes known as flame arrow, was a transmutation spell that either ignited a certain number of arrows or bolts with fire, or conjured porjectiles of the flame the caster could direct at a target.

Effects
Upon touching a quiver containing arrows or bolts, the caster imbued the ammunition inside with fire for up to one hour, for as long as the caster kept concentrating on the spell. The power could affect each arrow only once per casting. Initially, a maximum of 12 arrows could be imbued each time, but more powerful castings could increase this number.

Alternately, the caster could hurl launch one or more conjured magical bolts of flame towards their opponent. The number of projectiles they created was dependent on their experience and skill as a spellcaster.

Components
The spell required only verbal and somatic components.

History
The spell was attributed to Netherese arcanist Primidon in and was originally known as Primidon's arrow.
