Luminous Globe (5e Spell)

Luminous Globe

2nd-level Evocation
Casting time:	1 action
Range:	120 feet
Components:	V, S, M (fine sand or powdered chert worth at least 1 sp, consumed by the spell)
Duration:	8 hours

Choose an unoccupied space that you can see within range that contains no creatures within 15 feet of it. A luminous globe of crackling ball lightning appears in that space, shedding bright light in a 15-foot radius and dim light for a further 15 feet beyond that. If a creature enters the space within 15 feet of the globe, it must make a Dexterity saving throw to avoid the globe as it moves toward the creature. A creature wearing metal armor has disadvantage on the saving throw. On a failure, the globe impacts the creature and explodes, dealing 6d6 lightning damage and reducing that creature's speed to 0 until the beginning of its next turn. On a success, the creature avoids the globe and continues to move as normal, and the globe now occupies the space the creature did when the globe was triggered to move towards it.

A creature must repeat the saving throw if it starts its turn within 15 feet of a luminous globe. If it succeeds the saving throw, it must use its movement to move to a space unoccupied by the luminous globe. If it has no movement to spend, it automatically fails the saving throw.

Luminous globes are attracted to other luminous globes. A strong wind, such as that created by a gust of wind spell, pushes luminous globes 30 feet in the direction it flows at the beginning of each round. If a luminous globe impacts a solid object or another luminous globe, the globe explodes.
