Volt Burst

You generate electricity in the palm of your hand before shooting jolts of lightning at creatures within range. Make a ranged spell attack against the target. On a hit, the target takes 1d8 lightning damage. The electricity can move up to 300 feet through any conductive object, including water, and does damage to the first creature that would intercept it; as if it were hit by the initial bolt.

The spell creates more than one bolt when you reach higher levels: two bolts at 5th level, three at 11th, and four at 17th. You can direct the bolts at the same target or different ones. Make a separate attack roll for each bolt.
