Delayed Impact

You hurl a mote of condensed time toward a creature.
Make a ranged spell attack. On a hit, choose one:

• Stored Impact: The strike deals no damage now. At the end of your next turn, it detonates, dealing 1d10 force damage.

• Immediate Discharge: The strike deals half damage now, and at the start of your next turn the target is pushed 5 ft in a direction you choose.

At Higher Levels: Damage increases by +1d10 at 5th, 11th, and 17th level.

“The hit already happened; the universe just hasn’t noticed yet.”
