You summon two points of magical energy around the caster which fire lightning infused chains that are mentally controlled by you at any target of your choosing within 120 feet. You can use this spell as a spell attack or as a concentration spell.
Spell Attack: You can use these chains to attack up to two separate creatures. Make a ranged spell attack against the target. On a hit, each chain deals 3d8 lightning damage.
At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, an additional chain is fired, increasing by 1d8 for each slot level above 3rd.
Concentration: Alternatively, you use both chains to attack one target with the target making a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 8d6 lightning damage and is restrained on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. The restrained target, as an action, can make a Strength check to break free, upon freeing itself taking 2d6 lightning damage. If a target is made to leave the range of this spell by force, it takes 3d6 lightning damage and is freed.
This spell has no effect on targets tiny or smaller.
At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, an additional chain is fired, increasing by 1d6 for each slot level above 3rd and increasing the save DC by 1 every 2 levels.
