Arc Lightning

In a quick motion you rub your hands together calling forth the static electricity in the air around you. You then thrust your hand skyward, releasing the charge you just generated to a target in range. Make a ranged spell attack. On a hit the target takes 1d12 lightning damage.

The spell creates more than one arc when you reach higher levels: two arcs at 5th level, three arcs at 11th level, and four arcs at 17th level. You can direct the arcs at the same target or at different ones. Make a separate attack roll for each arc.
