A large golden star appears above your head, then lingers at a chosen point within range for the duration. When the spell ends, either because your concentration is broken or because you decide to end it, the star emits a brilliant radiance into an explosion of starlight that spreads around corners. Each creature in a 40-foot-radius sphere centered on that point must make a Constitution saving throw. A creature takes radiant damage equal to the total accumulated damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
The spell's base damage is 10d8. If at the end of your turn the bead has not yet detonated, the damage increases by 1d8.
If the glowing star is touched before the interval has expired, the creature touching it must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the spell ends immediately, causing the star to burst with radiant energy. On a successful save, the creature can throw the star up to 40 feet. When it strikes a creature or a solid object, the spell ends, and the star explodes.
The light damages objects in the area and ignites flammable objects that aren't being worn or carried.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 8th level or higher, the base damage increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 7th.
