Voltaic Shroud

You are cloaked in a mantle of electrical energy that protects you against attacks and allows you to hurl bolts of lightning. Any creature that strikes you with a melee attack takes 1d8 lightning damage from an electrical discharge. Once per turn, as a bonus action, you can also strike any creature or object within range with a bolt of electricity that deals 2d8 lightning damage.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th or higher level, the damage of the electrical bolts and defensive discharge increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 3rd.
