You create a small mote of light that you hurl at a creature you can see. The creature must make a Dexterity saving throw or take 1d8 radiant damage. If the creature is an undead or fiend, the damage increases to 1d12 radiant damage instead.

The spell’s damage increases by one die when you reach 5th level (2d8 or 2d12), 11th level (3d8 or 3d12), and 17th level (4d8 or 4d12).
