When the wizard casts this spell, a jet of searing flame shoots from his fingertips. His hands must be held so as to send forth a fanlike sheet of flames: the wizard's thumbs must touch each other and fingers must be spread. The burning hands send out flame jets of five-foot length in a horizontal arc of about 60 degrees in front of the wizard. Any creature in the area of the flames suffers 1d3 hit points of damage, plus 2 points for each level of the spellcaster, to a maximum of 1d3 + 20 points of fire damage. Those successfully saving vs. spell receive half damage. 

◦ Burning Hands (Alteration, SCRL68): Quick-fire cone-shaped direct damage AoE that inflicts 1d3 fire + 2 points of fire dmg per level of the caster up to 10th. Save vs. spells for half.

In BG2, this spell can be useful for killing off trolls. However, weapons kill off trolls quicker.
