Hellish rebuke: What is it?
Since Hellish rebuke is a reaction spell, its condition must be satisfied before it may be cast. The caster can use their response to temporarily engulf an enemy in raging flames, causing fire damage, when they are damaged by an enemy within 60 feet of them. In the event the enemy succeeds in a Dexterity save, the spell deals half damage.
