A white-hot electric spark dances on your fingertip and then bolts toward a creature within range. You release a small stroke of electrical energy. Make a ranged spell attack against the target. On a hit, the target takes 1d8 lightning damage, and it can't take reactions until the start of its next turn.

The spell’s damage increases by 1d8 when you reach 5th level (2d8), 11th level (3d8), and 17th level (4d8).
