You summon a ball of electric energy to strike a creature within range. Make a ranged spell attack against the target. On a hit, the target takes 1d8 lightning damage. Additionally, you can have the energy of the spell arc from the target to a different creature of your choice within 5 feet of it. That creature takes 1 lightning damage.
This spell's damage increases when you reach certain levels. At 5th level, the initial ranged attack deals an extra 1d8 lightning damage to the first target on a hit (2d8), and the damage the second target takes increases by 1d8 (1d8 + 1). Both damage rolls increase by 1d8 at 11th level (3d8 and 2d8 + 1) and again at 17th level (4d8 and 3d8 + 1).
