The weapon has the same statistics as a magical\r\nspear that deals fire damage instead of piercing damage and\r\nuses your spellcasting ability modifier in place of Strength to\r\ndetermine its bonus to attack and damage rolls.\r\n\r\nThe spell ends if you end your turn not holding the spear in\r\nyour hand. When thrown, the spear deals 8d4 additional fire\r\ndamage and ignores half cover. This damage increases by 2d4 at\r\nthe end of each turn that you remain concentrating on the spell,\r\nto a maximum of 14d4.\r\n\r\nWhen used as a melee weapon, the spear deals 3d4 additional\r\nfire damage. This damage increases by 1d4 at the end of each\r\nturn that you remain concentrating on the spell, to a maximum\r\nof 6d4.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, at the start of each turn that you spend\r\nconcentrating on this spell, you take 1d4 fire damage, increasing\r\nby 1d4 on each subsequent turn you concentrate, to a maximum\r\nof 3d4. You do not need to make concentration checks to\r\nmaintain concentration on searing spear when it damages you\r\nin this way.\r\n","higherlevels":"When you cast this spell using a spell slot\r\nof 5th level or higher, the initial and maximum damage that the\r\nspell deals on its weapon attacks both increase by 1d4 per spell\r\nslot level expended above 4th.","source":"The Archive of Esoteric Secrets","tabledata":"","tags":"Spell,Sorcerer,Warlock,Wizard,4th Level","isShared":"on","templateId":"19","blockId":"244307"}
