Radiant
You launch a mote of light at one creature or object within range. Make a ranged spell attack against the target. On a hit, the target takes 1d8 Radiant damage, and until the end of your next turn, it emits Dim Light in a 10-foot radius and can’t benefit from the Invisible condition.
Cantrip Upgrade. The damage increases by 1d8 when you reach levels 5 (2d8), 11 (3d8), and 17 (4d8).
Not displaying correctly on the character sheet as of 9/3/24
Spell requires a ranged spell attack against the target but doesn't show the attack roll button on the character sheet.

Dude. My bear druid is gonna be shooting star lasers from his mouth! PEW PEW PEW!
Also confirmed what Woggee said as of 9/4/2024. There is currently no option to actually make the ranged spell attack showing within the character sheet and it doesn't show as an option under the action's tab.
It is strange that clerics and paladins don't get this?
Out of combat, can cast on a rock and have someone sling it to place a six-second low-power flare.
Very fitting, and probally intended, for a Circle of Stars Druid
Available for: Bard, Druid, Bard, Druid.
I know it's because some subclasses make it always prepared I just find that funny.
Seems like it would be right up the alley of a Cleric of Light.
I think that's probably Bard, Druid (2014) and Bard, Druid (2024), but it does look weird. Subclasses are normally listed properly like "Circle of Stars" or "Life Domain".
naw they get sacred flame. If you really want it you can grab MI druid.
I feel this is more nature themed than divine themed, given it's a tiny star. But I'd definitely consider magic initiate druid as a starting feat for this. Pick up either thorn whip or shillelagh and goodberry/absorb elements and that's a solid kit

Some confusion on this spell. So you don't take immediate damage from the cantrip right? You just get a spotlight cast on them and then another spell has to target them. When they get hit from that ranged spell they take damage from that ranged spell + starry wisp damage.
Am I getting this right?
This spell does 1d8 radiant damage immediately upon a hit. It's right there in the spell description:
Make a ranged spell attack against the target. On a hit, the target takes 1d8 Radiant damage...
Are you getting confused about the phrase "make a ranged spell attack"? That's telling you how this spell works; it's not talking about some other spell. This is how every ranged attack spell is worded.
If a target is lit up via a cantrip like this one, would it give the party advantage on attacks against it? I feel like it would. Especially in darker areas.
Also, for some creatures, would think impose disadvantage on their attacks or possibly even blind?
No, being lit up like that doesn't grant advantage on attacks against the target, or impose disadvantage on the target's attacks. If the spell did that, it would say it did (like Faerie Fire does).
However, it can make a target that you couldn't otherwise see visible, which would remove the disadvantage you'd otherwise have on attacking an invisible target.
The very first spell/cantrip for bards that requires a ranged spell attack!
