Dazzling Dagger

You create a crystalline shard and fling it at one creature within range. Make a ranged spell attack against the target. On a hit, the target takes 1d8 piercing damage. Hit or miss, the shard then explodes. The target and each creature within 5 feet of it must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take 1d4 force damage.

You create more than one shard when you reach higher levels: two shards at 5th level, three at 11th level, and four at 17th level. You can direct the shards at the same target or at different ones. Make an attack roll for each shard.
