You hurl an undulating bolt of transmutation magic at one creature or object in range. Make a ranged spell attack against the target. On a hit, the target takes 8d4 damage. Choose one of the d4s. The number rolled on that die determines the attack's damage type, as shown below.
When you hit a mundane object, you instead roll a single 1d4. The number rolled determines what transfiguration effect happens to the object. The effect transforms the object into the relevant type of candy, either one the size of the original object, or the weight of the object in candy of the normal size.
When damage from this spell brings a creature to 0 hit points, you transmute their corpse into candy as if it were an object.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, each target takes 2d4 extra damage of the type rolled for each slot level above 2nd.
