The 'burning hands' spell is a low level fire spell, typically used before
combat.  When cast, the targets hands will become enchanted with fire for a
short period of time.  When the target strikes an enemy in battle with his
hands, the spell discharges and does fire damage to the enemy.

Note that if affected by this spell, you must attack with bare hands for
the spell to trigger in combat.  If you don't have any hands free, try not
using a shield, not holding a magic item, or (as a last resort) stop
wielding a weapon and attack bare-fisted.
