the cantrip spark is it touch or range 25 ft?

[Driftbourne]

The spell stat block says Range close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
the Description says "the surface of the object you touch"
Which is right?

You agitate molecules within the surface of the object you touch, causing it to catch fire if it's flammable and the atmosphere allows combustion. This spell can't cause substances within closed containers, such as the fuel in a petrol tank, to ignite.

Close range. In situations where there's a conflict between the stats, and the 'fluff' written in the description, go with the stats.

[Driftbourne]

in that case, maybe touch was supposed to be target in the description.

Perhaps "object you zap" was too flippant to use

I the object can be flippant, I might just use intimidation or diplomacy and not use the spell...
