Cragthorn's Daggers

Cragthorn was a master of magically capturing and manipulating light. One spell for which she was known used a small glass flask with some oil and some iron filings suspended within it to absorb the surrounding light, and used it to create a number of luminous daggers that orbited her. The flask must be in a place where there is at least an infinitesimal amount of light for the spell to work. All attacks from the daggers cause 1d8 radiant damage. 

The spell caster brings into being a number of daggers of light equal to the caster's level. The caster can spend an action to launch one of the daggers at an opponent. To do so, the player roles a D20 attack and adds their spell attack modifier. The range for this attack is 30 feet. The damage is 1d8 for each dagger sent plus the casters spell proficiency modifier (Intelligence for wizards, charisma for sorcerers, etc.). During one action, the caster can send as many daggers of light that they currently have out at any number of targets that they wish. 

As a reaction, the caster can expend a single dagger to attack someone who has attempted to attack the caster and is within 5 ft.

Also as a reaction, the caster may choose to use one or more of the daggers to deflect melee and ranged damage equal to 1d8 for each of the daggers that they choose to use plus the character's spell attack modifier. The damage is reduced by that amount. 

The materials for this spell are not consumed when the spell is cast. If the flask is destroyed, the spell ends. The flask has 1 HP. Clerics who serve a good deity or one that is associated with light can use their holy symbol in lieu of the materials for this spell.
