When to cast Produce Flame

It is a ranged damage cantrip for a Druid, which is otherwise a bit short on them, and it lights the area for free. Conjure it and throw it in the same turn, since that first throw does not cost an Action.

As a light source it lasts until you rest, and as an attack it ignites oil and grease. It is not a big number, but a Druid without a good ranged option is glad to have it.
