I'd be worried it hedges out the Decanter of Endless Water for purposes of putting out fires and such.  Not sure if this endless downpour from a barrel or other somewhat-large container could be a problem in some situation, but perhaps.  Obviously the spell doesn't work if the container is broken, but it does apparently work if the container simply has a hole or crack in its side or whatnot.Fiery Hands is superior to the much-used 2nd-level cleric spell Spiritual Weapon, but I suppose it's fair considering that Fiery Hands is 3rd-level and arcane (sorcerers and wizards have the most efficient/effective attack spells anyway).  Oddly, you don't mention the fiery hand to be immune to fire, you only say that it's vulnerable to cold.... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f635.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt="O_o" title="Er... what?    O_o"  data-smilie="12"data-shortname="O_o" />  Also, make sure that the spell description specifies that it deals fire damage with each attack.  Also, you should note if the fiery hand is capable of setting things on fire or detonating combustibles, and how; does a stricken character have to roll to avoid having their clothes set on fire, for instance, or does the fiery hand only set objects aflame if it strikes the flammable/combustible objects specifically?  Is Fiery Hands going to worry folks who wear a Necklace of Fireballs? {:^D</blockquote>
