1-level Evocation

Casting Time: 1 action

Range/Area: 90 ft.

Components: V, S, M

Materials: a diamond worth at least 50 gp

Duration: Instantaneous

Attack/Save: Ranged

Damage/Effect: Acid, Cold, Fire, Lightning, Poison, Psychic, or Thunder

You hurl a 4-inch-diameter sphere of energy at a creature that you can see within range. You choose acid, cold, fire, lightning, poison, or thunder for the type of orb you create, and then make a ranged spell attack against the target. On a hit, the target takes 3d8 damage of the chosen type.

At higher levels:

When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 1st. If you roll the same number on two or more of the d8s, the orb leaps to a different target of your choice within 30 feet of the target. Make an attack roll against the new target, and make a new damage roll. The orb can leap a maximum number of times equal to the level of the slot expended, and a creature can be targeted only once by each casting of this spell.
