Battlefield Patronage

You create a floating, spectral weapon within range that lasts for the duration or until you cast this spell again. When you cast the spell, you can make a melee spell attack against a creature within 5 feet of the weapon. On a hit, the target takes force damage equal to 1d8 + your spellcasting ability modifier.

As a bonus action on your turn, you can move the weapon up to 20 feet and repeat the attack against a creature within 5 feet of it.

The weapon can take whatever form you choose.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, you add 1d6 damage for every slot above 2nd. The damage type is dependent on the caster's patron:

• The Archfey = Acid Damage
• The Celestial = Radiant Damage
• The Emperor = Lightning
• The Fiend = Fire Damage
• The Great Old One = Psychic Damage
• The Hexblade = Poison Damage
• The Undying = Necrotic Damage
