Volt Shot

As part of the action used to cast this spell, you must make a ranged attack with a ranged or thrown weapon against one creature using the chosen weapon’s range, otherwise the spell fails. On a hit, the target suffers the attack’s normal effects, and takes lightning damage equal to your spellcasting ability modifier. 

This spell’s damage increases when you reach higher levels. At 5th level, the lightning damage deals an extra 1d4 + your spellcasting ability modifier to the target. At 11th level 1d6 + your spellcasting ability. At 17th level it increases to 1d8 + your spellcasting ability modifier.
