As you finish your arcane verse, electricity crackles along your skin. The small bolts of lightning arc around your body, creating both a barrier and a weapon.
For the duration, any creature that hits you with a melee attack takes 2d6 lightning damage. If that creature is wearing metal armor, it takes an additional 1d6 lightning damage. Additionally, any creature that grapples you takes 1d6 lightning damage at the start of each of its turns.
Whenever you make a melee attack against a creature within 5 feet of you, that attack deals an additional 2d6 lightning damage. You deal an additional 1d6 damage if the target is wearing metal armor.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the lightning damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 2nd.
