Baleful Strike

You launch a bolt of concentrated magical energy at a creature within range.

Make a ranged spell attack against the target. On a hit, the target takes force damage equal to 1d8 + your Intelligence modifier.

Damage Progression (Veigar):

• Character levels 1–5: 1d8 + Intelligence modifier.

• Character levels 6–10: 2d8 + Intelligence modifier.

• Character levels 11 and higher: 3d8 + Intelligence modifier.

Phenomenal Evil: For every 50 permanent Evil Power stacks, Baleful Strike deals an additional 1 force damage on a hit.

Piercing (Character Level 7): Beginning at character level 7, the projectile can pierce through one additional enemy after hitting its initial target. The additional target must be within the projectile's path and range.
