Fire Spells
Magic is really not the most effective way to produce fire. Most fire effects can be accomplished a lot easier without magic. However, once mastered, Fire magic can yield spectacular results.
Stoke
Causes any existing fire to suddenly burst into a much larger fire, possibly burning or igniting any bystanders.
Anyone within a 3 meter radius takes d4-1 damage, anyone in a 1 meter radius is ignited, taking d4 damage per round until extinguished.

Ignite
Ignite works by either gathering a lot of heat, or providing a spark. Technically, this is not actually a separate spell, you just use one of the other spells, Create Spark or Heat Sink. You actually get this spell for free, when you learn one of those.
It can be used to ignite any highly flammable fuel, such as torch oil, or dry tinder.
