You throw a ball of energy at a point you choose within ranged and it explodes on impact. Roll a D6 to determine the damage type: 1 - Acid, 2 - Cold, 3 - Fire, 4 - Lightning, 5 - Poison, or 6 - Thunder. Each creature in a 20-foot-radius sphere centered on that point must make a Dexterity saving throw. A target takes 5D8 of the determined damage type on a failed saving, or half as much damage on a successful one.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the damage increases by 1D8 of the determined damage type for each slot level above 3rd.

Fireball is great, but sometimes you need something different.
