Tao Mandalas

On your empty hand, you create complex symmetric patterns with arcane lines in the shape of a circle, fan or a shield-like form of your choice. If both hands are free, you can create two mandalas when casting this spell, gaining +1 to your Armor Class per mandala.

You can expend one or both mandalas to be fired as arcane bolts as an action on a subsequent turn. Make a ranged spell attack against a visible target within range. On a hit, the target takes 1d4 force damage per bolt. You make a spell attack separately for each. Expending both tao mandalas in this way ends this spell. Otherwise, they last for the duration.

You cannot exchange the material components of this spell by an arcane focus.

The size of the mandalas’ damage die increases when you reach 5th level (1d6), 11th level (1d8), and 17th level (1d10).
