You evoke the spell and a blazing beam of red-hot fire springs forth from your hand, ready to be used as a weapon.

You create a bladerlike beam that you can wield as if it were a dagger. Attacks with a flame dagger are melee touch attacks, and the blade deals ad4 points of fire damage +1 point per caster level (to a maximum of +10). Because the blade is immaterial, your Strength modifier does not apply to the damage. A _Flame dagger can ignite combustible materials such as parchment, straw, dry sticks, cloth, and so on.

This spell does not function underwater.
