Blue Charge Bolt

You infuse a ranged weapon with a volatile spark. As part of the spell's action, you make a ranged attack with that weapon on a creature within the spell's range. On a hit, the target suffers the attack's normal effects, and a blue charge sparks between the target and a creature of your choice that you can see within 5 feet of it. The second creature takes lightning damage equal to your spellcasting modifier. This spell's damage increases when you reach higher levels.

At 5th level, the ranged attack deals an extra 1d6 lightning damage to the target, and the lightning damage to the second creature increases to 1d6 + your spellcasting ability modifier. Both damage rolls increase by 1d6 at 11th level and 17th level.
