Unless, he's a really good player, things will get out of hand pretty soon. Remember, arson is something that is frowned upon, since most buildings are made from wood with a thatched roof. He'll probably end up torching a city. If he does, just have the player hunted down by officials, tried for killing children in their sleep, use some charred baby corpses as evidence, a testimony by a six-year old who saw her mother and baby-brother burn alive, and then have him messily executed in the town square. That should sort out the player and prevent him from choosing another daft character concept. Be very hard on him, and let things get out of hand in an unpleasant way. If you don't you'll just keep on being annoyed by silly plans involving setting fire to things, and he'll probably eat up more than his share of gametime, leaving the other players feeling left out and probably pissed of at your friend. And as an answer to your original question, burning hands and fireball make things burn, and i think it says in the spell description where to find the actual rules. If not, look in the index of the DMG.</blockquote>
