Damage/Effect
Force
You strike a single target with a devastating blow, dealing 3d8 force damage. A Large or smaller target is pushed 10 feet and knocked prone unless it makes a successful Strength saving throw. If used against an object, the spell rolls a Strength check using your spell attack bonus.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the spell’s damage increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 2nd. If a 4th-level or higher slot is used, a Huge creature can be affected by the forced movement. If a 6th-level or higher slot is used, a gargantuan creature can be affected by the forced movement.

Okay I have a question about this spell: It says you strike a single target with a devastating blow.. Is this a ranged spell attack? Or does this spell act like Magic Missiles where it just automatically hits the target?
It does say 30 feet, so I assume it would be a ranged spell attack, but the spell doesn't describe it as such.. hence my question.
