Arc Ray

The user unleashes a powerful blast of arcane energy using the Weave around them. The creature takes 2d8 force damage on a hit, and the user chooses one of the following effects below. 

• Arc Ritual: Mystic Bindings of the Weave 
  The energy from the blast transforms into spectral chains that bind a creature in place. The creature makes a Strength saving throw or is restrained. A creature can use its action to repeat the saving throw, freeing itself. 

• Arc Ritual: Armored Protection of the Weave 
  The energy from the blast breaks down strands of the Weave and reforms it into a defensive barrier: you or another creature of your choice gain +1 AC until the start of your next turn.

• Arc Ritual: Restoration of the Weave 
  The energy from the blast siphons vitality from a creature and restores your life force. You restore a number of hit points equal to half of the damage done by Arc Ray. 

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 1st.
