Arcing Bolt

Lightning arcs from your fingertips toward a creature within range. Make a ranged spell attack against the target. On a hit, the target takes 1d8 lightning damage and you may choose to have the bolt leap to a different creature of your choice that you can see within 5 feet of it. The second creature takes lightning damage equal to your spellcasting ability modifier.

This spell creates more than one arcing bolt when you reach higher levels: two bolts at 5th level, three bolts at 11th level, and four bolts at 17th level. You can direct the bolts at the same target or at different ones. Make a separate attack roll for each bolt.
