Green-flame blade, also known as greenflame blade, was an evocation spell that caused a burst of green fire to leap from a swinging melee weapon.[1][2]
Effects[]
As the spellcaster performed an attack with a weapon affected by the spell, green flame erupted from it towards a nearby foe.[2] The deadliness of the spell increased as the spellcaster grew more powerful as the flames also increased the damage dealt by the weapon itself.[1]
Skilled swordmages could launch these viridian flames at multiple nearby foes, and could use both their intellect as well as their physical strength as the basis for the spell's power.[2]
Components[]
The spell required a quick verbal as well as the weapon to be enhanced as the material component.[1]
History[]
Prior to the Second Sundering, the spell was favored by swordmages, particularly so-called "assault swordmages" who employed flashy elemental magics in their fighting styles.[3]
By the late 15th century DR, the spell was popular among War Wizards of Cormyr and bladesingers. Warlocks taking the pact of the blade also favored this spell.[4]
