You hurl a small undulating, warbling mass of chaotic energy at one creature in range. Make a ranged spell attack against the target. On a hit, the target takes 1d8 damage. The number rolled on the die determines the attack’s damage type, as shown below.

This spell's damage increases by 1d8 when you reach 5th level (2d8), 11th level (3d8), and 17th level (4d8).

Once you are able to roll multiple damage dice, you may choose which d8 will determine the attack's damage type. If you roll the same number on two or more dice, choosing the damage type of those dice will deal maximum damage on the attack.
