Posted Jun 7, 2022I think I would have included all of the elemental energies (acid, cold, fire, lightning, poison, thunder; basically the same ones as Chromatic Orb), but I would have reduced the damage to being d6 based to reflect that you get to pick the element type. As it is, there's no reason to pick Primal Savagery over this spell unless you _really_ wanted to specifically do acid damage. I don't think that's a compelling enough reason to differentiate them.
I'd also make it available to Sorcerers (especially Draconic and Storm origins), and element based Cleric domains (Tempest, Forge, Nature).
