You create a massive Dark Moon of icy moonlight and hurl it at a creature or point within range. If you target a creature, make a ranged spell attack against it.
On a hit, the creature takes 6d8 cold damage.
Immediately afterward, the Dark Moon explodes in a burst of freezing lunar magic. Each creature within a 10-foot radius of the impact point—including the original target—must make a Constitution saving throw.
On a failed save, a creature takes 3d8 cold damage. On a successful save, it takes half as much damage.
Creatures that fail the saving throw become afflicted with Moon Frost.
Until the end of your next turn:
The creature has disadvantage on saving throws against spells that deal cold or force damage. Whenever the creature takes cold or force damage from a spell, it takes additional damage equal to your spellcasting ability modifier (minimum +1).
At Higher Levels:
When cast using a spell slot of 7th level or higher, both the direct-hit damage and explosion damage increase by 1d8 for each slot level above 6th.
