A beam of crackling energy streaks toward a creature within range. Make a ranged spell attack against the target. On a hit, the target takes 1d10 force damage.

The spell creates a larger beam at higher levels, increasing in size at level 5, again at level 10, and increasing for the final time at level 15. The beam deals an additional 1d10 force damage per each increase in size. Additionally starting at level 5 you can choose to expend a spell slot to either deal an additional 1d8 force damage per spell slot level on a successful attack roll or change the shape of the blast into a 15 foot cone dealing an additional 1d6 force damage per spell slot level. Rather than an attack roll all enemies in the radius of the cone must roll a dexterity saving throw taking half damage upon a success.
