Crimson Javelin

A shimmering javelin of fire streaks toward a target within range and bursts in a spray of fire. Make a ranged spell attack against the target. On a hit, the target takes 2d8 fire damage immediately and 1d8 fire damage at the end of its next turn. On a miss, the javelin impacts the target with fire for half as much of the initial damage and no damage at the end of its next turn.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the damage (both initial and later) increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 1st.
