The spell produce flame indicates it creates a flame "in your open hand." The flame can be used as a light source or it can be used to make ranged or melee touch attacks.

Is there anything that would prevent you from holding the flame in one hand and a weapon in the other and attacking as with two weapons (taking the appropriate penalties for two weapon fighting, of course)? Could you consider the flame hand your "off hand"? In which case, would the flames qualify as a light weapon for purposes of determining the TWF penalties?

Any thoughts? :)

I don't see any reason why you couldn't do this.

The flame could be either off or on hand, depending on which hand you conjure the flame into.

I would call it a light weapon for purposes of TWF.

I really don't see a problem with it either...but I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. Thanks for the reply Matthew. :)

it's better to use it as your off hand attack because the AC is lower for it.
