Arcanist's Arrows

You create simple arrow-like projectiles of magical force which arc towards targets of your choice that you can see within range. Each target must make a Dexterity saving throw suffering 1d4 force damage per projectile on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. The projectiles all strike simultaneously, and you can direct them to hit one creature or several. A target takes no damage from this cantrip if they cast the Shield spell as a reaction.

The number of projectiles you create increases by 2 when you reach 5th level (3), 11th level (5) and 17th level (7).
