You create a wyrmling of pure black lightning which bursts forth from your handand streaks towards a creature within range. MAke a ranged spell attack. On a hit, the target takes 8d8 lightning damage, and must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or become paralyzed until the end of its next turn.
Whether the attack hits or misses, the wrymling splodes in an arc of energy centered on the target. The target (only if missed by the initial attack) and each creature within 10 feet of it must make a Dexterity saving throw, takinf 4d8 lightning damage on a failed save, and half on a success.
At higher levels - WHen you cast the spell using a spell slot of 6th or higher, the initial damage increases by 2d8, and the area damage by 1d8 for each level above 5th.
