Effect: You conjure six magical cannonballs made of compressed arcane energy, each one soaring toward a creature of your choice within range. Each cannonball automatically hits its target and deals 4d6 force damage plus 2d6 bludgeoning damage.
-
You can target one creature with all six cannonballs, or you can direct the cannonballs to strike multiple creatures, with no more than one cannonball targeting any individual creature.
-
The cannonballs explode with an ear-splitting blast, causing shockwaves of force that ripple through the air and scatter debris.
At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 7th level or higher, the spell creates one additional cannonball for each slot level above 6th. For example, a 7th-level spell slot creates 7 cannonballs, an 8th-level spell slot creates 8 cannonballs, and so on.
Lore & Flavor:
Arcane Barrage is an explosive and destructive spell that transforms the power of magic into cannonballs, channeling the arcane force into heavy, concussive orbs of energy. Unlike the focused magic of Magic Missile, this spell delivers overwhelming power in the form of blunt force and magical destruction, allowing casters to deal devastating damage across the battlefield. While often used by sorcerers and wizards in siege situations, Arcane Barrage is just as useful for smashing through armored defenses or obliterating clustered enemies.
