OK, you listed out the ways in which this spell is worse than Spiritual Weapon. Now list out the ways in which it is better.
IMO:
A beam of crackling, blue energy lances out toward a creature within range, forming a sustained arc of lightning between you and the target. At the start of the creatures turn it takes 1d12 damage. You must spend an action to sustain this effect on the following turn or the spell ends. The spell also ends if the target is ever outside the spell’s range or if it has total cover from you.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, both the damage increases by 1d12, and the range is increased by 10' for each slot level above 1st and the range is increased by 10'.

I'm not sure that's balanced. Try this version instead.

Witch Bolt is considered not good?
Not sure if serious, cue awkward laugh.
