Temporal Bolt (Past)

You weave time and space to create a dart-like bolt of magical force which you launch at a target. Choose a creature or object you can see within range. They take 2d4 force damage. You deal this damage a turn before casting this spell (without needing to spend your action casting this spell). If damage is dealt this way, you must spend your action on your next turn casting this spell. There will be no damage on that turn.

At higher levels: The spell's damage increases by 2d4 when you reach 6th level (4d4), 12th level (6d4), and 20th level (8d4).
