You summon into being a handful of elemental energy and hurl it towards a creature within range. On a hit, the target takes 1d6 damage of a type you choose: Acid, Cold, Fire, Lightning, Poison, or Thunder. 

Alternatively you may choose to inflict the effects of this energy as a Touch spell instead of a ranged attack.

Cantrip Upgrade: The spell's damage increases by 1d6 when you reach 5th level (2d6), 11th level (3d6), and 17th level (4d6).
