Missiles of magical energy dart from your fingertip to unerringly strike a creature within range, dealing 5d4 + 5 force damage. The missiles then ricochet from the target to as many as five other creatures, each of which must be within 30 feet of the first target. A creature can be targeted by only one of these missiles, taking 1d4 + 1 force damage.
Spells, magic items, and abilities that protect against magic missile (such as the shield spell or a brooch of shielding) also protect against this spell. If the primary target has that sort of protection, the spell has no effect against it but still springs to all secondary targets.
At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the initial damage increases by 1d4 + 1, and one additional missile ricochets from the first target to another target for each slot level above 4th.
