Eldritch Whip

You conjure a golden sparking whip of energy to attack a target within range. Make a melee spell attack against the target. On a hit, the target takes 1d8 force damage. You may also use this spell to temporarily grapple creatures. When doing so, follow standard Grapple rules. If the target loses, they are considered grappled until the end of their next turn.

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