Description
As your attack hits or misses the target, the weapon or ammunition you're using transforms into a lightning bolt. Instead of taking any damage or other effects from the attack, the target takes 4d8 Lightning damage on a hit or half as much damage on a miss. Each creature within 10 feet of the target then makes a Dexterity saving throw taking 2d8 Lightning damage on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one. The weapon or ammunition then returns to its normal form.
At Higher Levels
The damage for both effects of the spell increases by 1d8 for each spell slot level above 3.
