Sun Metal and daggers

[Joekar]

Hi,

Sun metal has a target of 1 melee weapon and does an additional 1d4 fire damage. The text doesn't say what happens if you drop the weapon before the spell expires.

My question is, if you cast Sun Metal on a dagger (a melee weapon, a valid target) and then throw it, what happens? Do the flames wink out when it leaves your hand? Does it continue to flame?

Thanks.

It continues to flame for the duration of the spell.

Cool, thanks. I thought so but wanted to check.
