Description:
You summon a terrifying vortex of elemental chaos, a manifestation of Tiamat’s will that swirls with the combined power of fire, cold, lightning, poison, and acid. The maelstrom is a 30-foot-radius, 40-foot-high cylinder centered on a point within range. For the duration, elemental energy churns violently within the area.
Effect:
When a creature enters the area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, it must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, it takes 8d6 damage. Roll a d6 to determine the damage type:
- 1—Fire
- 2—Cold
- 3—Lightning
- 4—Poison
- 5—Acid
- 6—Roll twice and deal both damage types (half of each).
On a successful save, the creature takes half damage.
Draconic Empowerment:
If the damage type rolled matches your Draconic Ancestry, the creature has disadvantage on the saving throw and takes an additional 2d6 damage of that type. Additionally, if the creature fails the save, it suffers an additional effect based on the damage type:
- Fire: The creature is ignited, taking 2d6 fire damage at the start of each of its turns.
- Cold: The creature’s speed is reduced by 20 feet until the start of your next turn.
- Lightning: The creature is stunned until the end of its next turn.
- Poison: The creature is poisoned for 1 minute (they can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of their turns to end the condition).
- Acid: The creature’s armor or shield (if non-magical) is corroded, reducing its AC by 2 for the duration of the spell.
At Higher Levels:
When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 9th level, the damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 8th.
