An ethereal beam of crackling dark energy streames out toward a creature within range, forming a continuous arc of black lightning between the target and The Witchbone. Make a ranged spell attack against that creature. On a hit, the target takes 1d12 dark lightning damage, and on each of your turns for the duration, you can use your action to deal 1d12 lightning damage to the target automatically. The spell ends if you use your action to do anything else. The spell also ends if the target is ever outside the spell’s range or if it has total cover from you.
On Critical Hit: The vile emanation from the wand flares, arcing the dark energy into an additional enemy within 5 feet of the original target. Each additional enemy hit takes the full 1D12 of damage, scaled to the spell slot used.
At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the initial damage increases by 1d12 for each slot level above 1st. Additionally, each upscaling of the spell adds one additional target to its critical hit and an additional 5 feet of range to that secondary blast.
