Vertical Bolt

You bring a bolt of lightning down on a creature within range. The target must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take 2d12 lightning damage on a failed save. The target gains no benefit from cover for this saving throw.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the extra damage increases by 1d12 for each slot level above 1st.
