Blade Dash

With a wave of an empty hand the caster summons a spectral knife. The caster chooses a target within range that has no large object between them (walls, chests). The caster dashes toward its target (along the ground), regardless of remaining movement speed. Any creature of the caster's size and smaller in the path of this dash stops the caster and the spell ends. The caster makes a melee spell attack and on a hit the targeted creature takes 1d8 force damage. The target of the dash must make a strength save, on a failed save the target is knocked 5 feet backwards.

This spell’s damage increases by 1d8 when you reach 5th level (2d8), 11th level (3d8), and 17th level (4d8).
