The SendingStone review

Flame Blade is a druid spell that transforms a flame into a sword-like shape that deals fire damage. While it has a quick casting time and can last up to 10 minutes, it requires concentration to maintain. When cast using a higher spell slot, the damage dealt increases.

Opinions on # Flame Blade are mixed. Some players find it to be a useful spell in combat situations, especially against enemies vulnerable to fire damage. However, others feel that its limited duration and need for concentration make it less reliable in battle compared to other druid spells. Additionally, some argue that it may not be worth using a spell slot on higher levels to increase its damage when other spells may offer more significant benefits. Overall, # Flame Blade is a spell that may be situational and dependent on a player's preferred playstyle.
