After much toiling and hard work, a group of wizards in Waterdeep have perfected this very potent cantrip. Much like that of the melee version Booming Blade, you can attack your target with an extra punch of thunder damage. Useful for quick dispatch of foes.
As part of the action used to cast this spell, you must make a ranged attack with a weapon against one creature within the spell’s range, otherwise the spell fails. On a hit, the target suffers the attack’s normal effects, and it becomes sheathed in a thunderous energy until the start of your next turn. If the target willingly moves before then, it immediately takes 1d8 thunder damage, and the spell ends.
This spell’s damage increases when you reach higher levels. When you reach 5th level, the attack deals an extra 1d8 thunder damage to the target, and the damage the target takes for moving increases to 2d8. Both damage rolls increase by 1d8 at 11th level to 2d8 immediate damage and 3d8 when moving, and 17th level increase to 3d8 immediate damage, and 4d8 when moving.
