Funny thing that popped up in my mind while reading the revised cantrips.

Produce flame "emits no heat and ignites nothing", yet you can hurl it at a creature to deal fire damage.

Which begs the question: what is fire damage in DnD canon, if not heat or fire?

I guess the key but is "A flickering flame appears in your hand... while there, the flame emits no heat". But when thrown it does become hot enough to cause fire damage, but then is used up.
