An arrow of crackling energy blitzes towards a creature within range. Make a ranged spell attack against the target. On hit, the target takes 1d12 lightning or thunder damage.

The spell creates an additional arrow when you reach higher levels: 2 arrows at 5th level, 3 arrows at 11th level, and 4 arrows at 17th level. You can direct the arrows at the same target or at different ones. Make a separate attack roll for each arrow.
