You create a dazzling surge of electricity that arcs to each creature within a 5ft radius centered on you. Each creature and object within this area other than yourself takes 2d6 lightning damage and must make a constitution saving throw, being paralyzed until the end of their next round on a failure. You may exclude a number of creatures from this effect equal to your casting ability modifier each time it is cast.
If ball bearings or caltrops were used as this spell's material component, you may scatter the bag to any point within the spell's area as part of casting this spell, the scattering occurring as the contents of the bag are launched outward from the electrical surge. This spell does not destroy or consume a spool of copper wire used to cast it.
At Higher Levels. For each slot level above 1st used to cast this spell, increase the electrical damage by 1d6. For every 2 slot levels above 1st used to cast this spell, increase the area of effect by 5 feet.
* - (A small spool of copper wire or a 2 lb bag of ball bearings or caltrops.)
