The text for this spell does not match the SRD text for the same.

The SRD text is as follows:

Call Lightning LEVEL 3rd CASTING TIME 1 Action RANGE/AREA 120 ft (60 ft *) COMPONENTS V, S DURATION Concentration 10 Minutes SCHOOL Conjuration ATTACK/SAVE DEX Save DAMAGE/EFFECT

Lightning (...)

A storm cloud appears in the shape of a cylinder that is 10 feet tall with a 60-foot radius, centered on a point you can see within range directly above you. The spell fails if you can't see a point in the air where the storm cloud could appear (for example, if you are in a room that can't accommodate the cloud).

When you cast the spell, choose a point you can see under the cloud. A bolt of lightning flashes down from the cloud to that point. Each creature within 5 feet of that point must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 3d10 lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. On each of your turns until the spell ends, you can use your action to call down lightning in this way again, targeting the same point or a different one. If you are outdoors in stormy conditions when you cast this spell, the spell gives you control over the existing storm instead of creating a new one. Under such conditions, the spell's damage increases by 1d10.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th or higher level, the damage increases by 1d10 for each slot level above 3rd.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 212.102.44.57 (talkcontribs) . Please sign your posts.

The spell as it currently is, exactly matches how it appears in the 5e SRD. The text changes you are referring to are from errata's made to the spell via the PHB errata. In that case, we can not change the spell to match the errata, as we can only copy how the spell appears in the SRD.--Blobby383b (talk) 20:10, 16 March 2021 (MDT)
