Pretty sure I know the answer but wanted to see if I'm right. I think this bonus damage is applied only 1 time at the casting, even if the spell lasts additional rounds, its once only right?

So a draconic fire sorcerer would only add his charisma bonus once to a Greenflame Blade attack, and nothing to a secondary target, if there was one that is. And only to the first damage roll on something like Create Bonfire or Wall of Fire?

Elemental Affinity (p. 102). The damage bonus applies to one damage roll of a spell, not multiple rolls.

In case the OP is confused, this was not in the original printing of the phb.

Yeah, i didn't see it in my hardback copy, but my pdf digital copy has the corrected stuff.

I'm going to assume the same rule will apply to Undying Light warlocks & 8th level+ Arcana domain Clerics.
