Sheet Lightning

Effect

A dazzling spark of blue light crackles from your pointing finger to a point you choose within range and then blossoms with a low thunderous boom into an explosion of lightning. Each creature in a 20-foot-radius sphere centered on that point must make a Dexterity saving throw. A target takes 5d8 Lightning damage on a failed save and it can't take Reactions and is Dazzled until the start of its next turn. On a successful save a target suffers half as much damage, is not Dazzled, and may still take Reactions as normal.
Targets wearing metal armor or made of metal have Disadvantage on their saving throw against this spell.
At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 3rd.
