Lightning Charged

2-level Evocation

Casting Time: 1 action

Range/Area: Touch

Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material

Materials: A piece of metal once used in a lightning rod

Duration: 10 minutes

Attack/Save: melee attack or a spell with a range of touch

Damage/Effect: 1d6 lightning damage

You channel lightning energy into a creature. The energy is harmless to the creature, but escapes in dangerous bursts to other nearby creatures.
Every time that creature strikes another creature with a melee attack or a spell with a range of touch, is struck by another creature with a melee attack, or ends their turn while grappling or being grappled by another creature, they deal 1d6 lightning damage to that creature.
Once this spell has discharged 6 times (dealing up to 6d6 total damage), the spell ends.

At higher levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the spell can discharge damage 2 additional times (dealing up to 2d6 more total damage) before the spell ends for each slot level above 2nd.

Available for: Druid, Ranger, Sorcerer, Wizard
