# Flame Tongue
*Rare (requires attunement)*
While holding this magic weapon, you can take a [Bonus Action](3-Mechanics/CLI/rules/variant-rules/bonus-action-xphb.md) and use a command word to cause flames to engulf the damage-dealing part of the weapon. These flames shed [Bright Light](3-Mechanics/CLI/rules/variant-rules/bright-light-xphb.md) in a 40-foot radius and [Dim Light](3-Mechanics/CLI/rules/variant-rules/dim-light-xphb.md) for an additional 40 feet. While the weapon is ablaze, it deals an extra `2d6` Fire damage on a hit. The flames last until you take a [Bonus Action](3-Mechanics/CLI/rules/variant-rules/bonus-action-xphb.md) to issue the command again or until you drop, stow, or sheathe the weapon.
