A beam of crackling lightning streaks toward a creature you can see within range. Make a ranged spell attack against the target. On a hit, the target takes 2d10 lightning damage, and the creature becomes sheathed in bright booming energy until the end of your next turn.
Before the effect ends, you can use your reaction to say the command word to release the booming energy in a flash of light and thunder, ending the effect. The creature must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or take 2d10 thunder damage and become blinded and deafened for the rest of the turn. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage and isn’t blinded or deafened.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4rd level or higher, the thunder damage increases by 1d10 for each slot level above 3rd.
