Each creature in the sphere must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 6d6 damage of the chosen type. On a successful save, a creature takes half as
much damage. Choose one of those d6s. The number rolled on that die determines a condition that’s applied to each creature that failed the save, as shown below. A creature has the condition until the end of your next turn.
