| notes = * The blade can be equipped in either the main hand or the off hand, and can be unequipped, but must stay on the spellcaster's person. The blade has no [[Weapon Actions]] tied to it other than basic attack.
* The blade uses the spellcaster's [[Spells#Spellcasting_Ability_and_Proficiency|Spellcasting Ability]] ([[Wisdom]] for [[Druid]]s or [[Charisma]] for [[Tiefling]]s) for {{Attack Roll}}s instead of [[Strength]] or [[Dexterity]], but as with most spell attacks no modifier is added to the [[Damage Roll]].
* When the spell ends, the caster will automatically re-equip the weapon they had equipped when they cast the spell, without costing an Action Point.
* If the caster is wielding a Light weapon in their main hand, or if the caster has the Dual Wielder feat, the blade appears in the offhand. Otherwise it appears in the main hand.
* The incantation for Flame Blade is '''Para Bellum''', Latin for "prepare for war".
