Discordant Note

You summon a magical note of painfully cacophonous music that floats around your current location which can be continuously heard up to 100 feet away. On the same turn you summon it, you can make a ranged spell attack with it against a target you can see within range. On a hit, the target takes 1d8 thunder damage with each creature within 5 feet of it taking 1 thunder damage. You can also delay the note, causing it to remain floating at that location until you release it with a reaction. If you do so, choose a target you can see within the range of the note and make the ranged spell attack when you spend your reaction. The notes remain there until the beginning of your next turn, causing them to disappear thereafter if not used.

The spell creates more than one note when you reach higher levels: two notes at 5th level, three notes at 11th level, and four notes at 17th level. You can only target one creature with this spell, no matter how many notes you summon.
