You target the corpse of a creature that's been dead for no longer than 1 minute that you can see within range, detonating it. Each creature within a 5-foot-radius sphere centered on that corpse must make a Dexterity saving throw.

At higher levels: When you cast this spell at 2nd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d8 for each level above 1st.
