Elemental Spike

2-level Evocation

Casting Time: 1 action

Range/Area: 90 feet

Components: V, S

Duration: Instantaneous

You create a spike of energy from one of the elemental planes and send it careening at a target you can see within range. You choose Air, Earth, Fire, or Water as the plane from which you draw the energy, and then make a ranged spell attack against the target. If the attack hits, it has varying effects based on the plane you chose.

Air. The target takes 4d8 thunder damage and is pushed 10 feet away from you. Whether the attack hits or misses, the spell emits a thunderous boom audible out to 300 feet.
Earth. The target takes 4d8 force damage and is knocked prone.
Fire. The target takes 4d8 fire damage, or half as much if you missed with the attack.
Water. The target takes 4d8 cold damage, and its speed is halved until the start of your next turn.

At higher levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 2nd. Alternatively, when you cast this spell using spell slots of certain levels, you can choose multiple elemental planes, dealing the damage and imposing the effects of each chosen plane, instead of increasing the spell’s damage by 1d8 for each slot level above 2nd. If you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th or 6th level, you can choose two planes; if you cast this spell using a 7th- or 8th-level spell slot, you can choose three planes; and if you cast this spell using a 9th-level spell slot, the spell gains the effects of all four planes.
