Once per day on command, a wielder of a conquering brand can cause the tip to grow red hot for 1 hour, and during this time one creature can be branded. The brand’s recipient is burned as normal for a branding iron and is also affected as per brand or another spell the conquering brand carries, as the wielder of the brand chooses. A conquering brand can create only one magical brand per day.
