You choose a ball of sleet or snow to appear in your hand. The ball remains there for the duration and harms neither you nor your equipment. The spell ends if you dismiss it as an action or if you cast it again.
You can also attack with the ball, although doing so ends the spell. When you cast this spell, or as an action on a later turn, you can hurl the ball at a creature within 30 feet of you. Make a ranged spell attack. On a hit, with the ball of sleet, the target takes 1d4 sleet damage, 1d4 cold damage, and is wet, with the snow ball the target takes 1d4 bludging damage and 1d4 cold damage if the target is wet the cold damage is doubled for the snow ball.
This spell's damage increases by 1d4 when you reach 5th level (2d4), 11th level (3d4), and 17th level (4d4).
