You send forth a ball of ghostly fire. Make a ranged spell attack against the target. On a hit, the target takes 1d8 radiant damage (if you are good or neutral) or 1d8 necrotic damage (if you are evil).

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