CASTING TIME: 1 bonus action / RANGE: Self COMPONENTS: V, S / DURATION: Up to 1 minute concentration.
The next time you make a ranged weapon attack during the spell's duration the weapon's ammunition or the weapon itself, if it's thrown, transforms into a bolt of lightning. Make the attack roll as normal. The target takes 4d8 lightning damage on a hit, or half as much damage on a miss, instead of the weapon's normal damage. Whenever you hit or miss, each creature within 10 feet of the target must make Dexterity saving throw. Each of these creatures takes 2d8 lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. The piece of ammunition or weapon then returns to its normal form.
AT HIGHER LEVELS:
When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the damage for both effects of the spell increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 3rd.
