You nock the arrow or bolt used in the casting of the spell and take a leaping shot. The arrow or bolt used to cast this spell explodes into a violent burst of quill-like splinters, piercing and debilitating foes in the blast while pushing you out of harm's way. Each creature within a 15-foot cone must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failure, a creature takes 4d4 piercing damage and is poisoned until the end of its next turn. On a success, a creature takes half damage and suffers no other ill effects. Additionally, you may choose to be pushed backwards up to 10 feet after casting this spell. This movement does not provoke opportunity attacks.

When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the damage increases by 2d4 for each slot level above 2nd.
