A basic attacking spell that fires a beam of raw mana toward a creature within range. Make a ranged spell attack against the target. On a hit, the target takes 1d10 Radiant or Necrotic damage of the caster's choice. A shield spell of equal or greater level blocks this spell completely. If a creature is reduced to 0 hit points with this spell, it is reduced to ashes and can only be brought back to life with the use of a Greater Restoration or Wish spell.

The spell creates more than one beam when you reach higher levels: two beams at 5th level, three beams at 11th level, and four beams at 17th level. You can direct the beams at the same target or at different ones. Make a separate attack roll for each beam.

This spell can be cast with a spell slot if desired. With a spell slot of 1st level, and for each slot level thereafter, the damage of this spell increases by 1d10.
