Blade Ballet

With a graceful flourish, you conjure three ethereal echoes of a weapon you are wielding. The blades dance about you, awaiting your command.

Upon casting this spell you can launch 1 or more ethereal blades at an enemy or enemies within 30 feet. Make a spell attack roll for each blade. On a hit, each blade deals 2d8 plus your spell casting modifier Force damage.

Alternatively, on following turns, you can launch one blade as a bonus action. If you hit an enemy with a weapon attack, you may launch a blade at a different target as a free action.

Finally, as long as one blade remains orbiting, you gain +2 AC.

At higher levels, you conjure 1 additional blade for each slot above 3rd.
