	'''Affect normal fires''' is a spell that enables the caster to magically alter a [[Natural Fire\|natural fire]] no larger than 3 feet in diameter. This spell grants the ability to shrink a campfire down to the size of a candle and transport it safely, or to hurl portions of an existing fire up to 10 feet away in a controlled burst. These functions are independent of each other and are described in full detail below. Whichever purpose the spell is used for first, the same casting of the spell cannot then be used for the other purpose.

-To shrink and move a fire, the caster must spend a full round accomplishing the task.  He or she must also possess a twig, taper, candle, torch or lantern upon which the fire can be induced to land.
+To shrink and move a fire, the caster must spend a full round accomplishing the task. He or she must also possess a twig, taper, candle, torch or lantern upon which the fire can be induced to land. The flame does not flicker wildly or resist the process — it instead draws inward naturally, as though being pulled into the object through unseen forces.
-While in this form, the fire continues to burn without using fuel — though it must have oxygen or else the flame will quit.  Thus, the caster can snuff the flame at will with a simple extinguisher, but it cannot be contained in any manner.
+While in this form, the fire continues to burn without using fuel, though it must have oxygen or else the flame will quit. The caster may snuff the flame at will with a simple extinguisher, but it cannot be contained in any manner. A lantern will not hold it; a sealed flask will only cause it to go out. The spell does not provide long-term storage for fire, but it allows the caster to transport it safely, placing it in a position where it may later be restored.
-As the spell's duration is insufficient for long-time storage of a fire, it can nevertheless be employed as a means of moving and dropping a fire wherever it might prove convenient for later manipulation.  The caster or anyone else may bear the fire without fear of harm, until the caster commands the fire to return to normal, whereupon it will jump a five-foot distance and appear, fuel and all, as it did before it was shrunk.
+The shrunken fire remains harmless in this state, shedding no heat beyond what a candle or torch would. The caster or any other creature may carry it without risk of burns. However, when the caster wills it, or when the spell expires, the fire jumps outward up to five feet, immediately restoring its previous size and intensity. This allows the caster to relocate the fire to a more strategic position before returning it to its natural form. Once restored, it consumes fuel as it did before being shrunk.
-The shrunken fire will produce as much [[Illumination|illumination]] as the form it takes, i.e., that of a candle or torch.
+The shrunken fire produces [[Illumination|illumination]] appropriate to its new form — if transferred to a candle, it emits candlelight; if placed on a torch, it burns as a torch.
 == Hurling Fire ==
-This requires a fire that's at least 1½ ft. in diameter, that's been built normally.  If the fire has been shrunken and moved to another place, because the original fire was "normal," it remains suitable for hurling.
+This requires a fire that's at least 1½ ft. in diameter, that has been built normally.  If the fire has previously been shrunk and moved to another place, because the original fire was "normal," it remains suitable for hurling, providing this is a recasting of the spell.
-Using all of his or her [[Action Points|action points]] that round, the caster causes a ball of flame to leap from the fire to a target the size of a [[Combat Hex|combat hex]].  The [[Damage (hit points)|damage]] caused will be 1-6; victims are entitled to a [[Saving Throws|saving throw]].  If this succeeds, the target will only be singed for 0-1 points — though this presumes the target has also leapt back one hex.  If there is no escape hex, then there is no saving throw and the target takes full damage.
