Description

Weapon (any sword), rare (requires attunement)

You can use a bonus action to speak this magic sword's command word, causing flames to erupt from the blade. These flames shed bright light in a 40-foot radius and dim light for an additional 40 feet. While the sword is ablaze, it deals an extra 2d6 fire damage to any target it hits. The flames last until you use a bonus action to speak the command word again or until you drop or sheathe the sword.

Using Flame Tongue

Flame Tongue is a rare weapon. It needs no attunement, so it's an easy pickup for any character. Drop it into a hoard or a shop that matches its rarity to keep your treasure feeling earned.
