Create Bonfire
Conjuration
Level: Cantrip
Casting time: 1 Action
Range: 60 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
You create a bonfire on ground that you can see within range. Until the spell ends, the magic bonfire fills a 5-foot cube. Any creature in the bonfire’s space when you cast the spell must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take 1d8 fire damage. A creature must also make the saving throw when it moves into the bonfire’s space for the first time on a turn or ends its turn there.
The bonfire ignites flammable objects in its area that aren’t being worn or carried.
The spell’s damage increases by 1d8 when you reach 5th level (2d8), 11th level (3d8), and 17th level (4d8).
If you would be fine with a Necromatic themed Cantrip, reskining Create Bonfire to Necrotic damage, would be easy. Maybe drop the damage die to d6, due to the Necrotic type damage, and keep the igniting flammable objects rule only with ghostly necrotic damage flames!
(Frankly, I don't even think you need to drop the die).
