You hurl a 4-inch-diameter sphere of energy at a creature that you can see within range. Depending on the weather the damage type changes. Ask the DM the current weather if you are not sure or any rulings you need. Recommendations for some are during a rainstorm deal bludgeoning, thunder/lightning deals either of those 2 damages, a heatwave will deal fire etc. Make a ranged spell attack against the target. If the attack hits, the creature takes 4d8 damage of the type you chose.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 2nd.
