# Fireball

*Level 3 Evocation (Sorcerer, Wizard)*

| **Casting Time** | Action |
| **Range** | 150 feet |

| **Duration** | Instantaneous |


A bright streak flashes from you to a point you choose within range and then blossoms with a low roar into a fiery explosion. Each creature in a 20-foot-radius Sphere centered on that point makes a Dexterity saving throw, taking 8d6 Fire damage on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one. Flammable objects in the area that aren’t being worn or carried start burning.

Using a Higher-Level Spell Slot. The damage increases by 1d6 for each spell slot level above 3.
