Chromatic Orb

1st-Level Evocation

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 90 feet
Components: V, S, M (a multi-coloured gem)
Duration: Instantaneous

You hurl a 4-inch-diameter sphere of energy at a creature that you can see within range. You choose acid, cold, fire, lightning, poison, or thunder for the type of orb you create, and then make a ranged spell attack against the target. If the attack hits, the creature takes 3d8 damage of the type you chose.

If you roll the same number on two or more of the d8s, the orb leaps to a different target of your choice within 30 feet of the original target. Make an attack roll against the new target, and make a new damage roll. The orb can only leap to one additional target and cannot target a creature already hit by this spell.

At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the damage of the orb increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 1st and the maximum number of times the orb can leap to additional targets increases by one for every two slot levels above 1st.
