You hurl a sphere of crackling electricity at a creature or object within range. Make a ranged spell attack against the target. On a hit, the target takes 1d10 lightning damage. A metallic object hit by this spell becomes charged for 1 minute if it isn’t grounded, being worn or being carried. If a creature touches a charged object, it takes 1d4 lightning damage and the charge fades.

This spell's damage increases by 1d10 when you reach 5th level (2d10), 11th level (3d10), and 17th level (4d10).
