You exhale a black cloud of thick ash at a target location. The ash builds up into a 15ft radius sphere. Every turn the ash cloud's radius grows by 5ft. It is impossible to see through the ash or light it up. On the same turn that you cast this spell you can use your bonus action to click your teeth together to create a spark and ignite the ash cloud in a violent fiery explosion. If you do not detonate the cloud in the same turn you cast it, then any fire or lightning that touches the ash will detonate the ash. In addition, any damage done by the fire or lightning that detonates the ash will be added to the overall damage of the spell. Everyone inside the ash cloud when it detonates must make a CON saving throw. On a failure the target takes 6d8 fire damage as well as any other damage if applicable and on a success the target takes half as much. For every two consecutive turns a creature has spent inside the cloud, that creature takes an extra 1d8 damage and loses any resistance or immunity it has to fire damage due to breathing in the ash. Any creature that spends two consecutive turns in the ash automatically fails the saving throw when the ash detonates. If a creature does not need to breathe, then it is not affected by breathing in the ash.
The ash spreads around corners. It ignites flammable objects in the area that aren't being worn or carried.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 4th.
