Arachne's Capriccio

You nimbly flourish the sword as if conducting an unseen orchestra, creating a surging wave of sonic energy. Make a ranged spell attack against the target. On a hit, the target takes 1d8 force damage. In addition, you may increase the size of your next usage of Bardic Inspiration Die by one step (ie d4 ->d6, d6 ->d8, etc) (this effect cannot be stacked). This spell’s damage increases by 1d8 when you reach 5th level (2d8), 10th level (3d8), and 16th level (4d8). You may also use this cantrip outside of combat, granting a +1 to the next check/save of a target affected by your Bardic Inspiration die.
