A 40-foot-radius cylinder of whirling air springs into existence centered on a point you choose within range. The sphere remains for the spell’s duration. Each creature in the sphere when it appears or that ends its turn there must succeed on a Strength saving throw or take 4d8 thunder damage and be thrown 10 feet backward. On a successful save, the creature takes half damage and is not thrown. The sphere’s space is difficult terrain.
Until the spell ends, you can use a bonus action or action on each of your turns to cause a number of lightning bolts equal to your proficiency bonus to leap from the center of the cylinder toward one creature you choose within 90 feet of the center. Make a ranged spell attack. You have advantage on the attack roll if the target is in the cylinder. On a hit, the target takes 6d6 lightning damage.
Creatures within 30 feet of the cylinder have disadvantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks made to listen. The wind disperses gas or vapor, and it extinguishes candles, torches, and similar unprotected flames in the area. It causes protected flames, such as those of lanterns, to dance wildly and has a 50 percent chance to extinguish them.
If you are outdoors in stormy or windy conditions when you cast this spell, the spell gives you control over the storm, and under such conditions, the spell’s damage increases by one damage dice each. In addition, under such conditions, you can cast this spell as Whirlwind instead if you choose.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, you can choose to expand the radius of the cylinder by 10 feet, and the damage increases for each of its effects by one damage dice each for each slot level above 6th.
