[QUOTE="Stormonu, post: 8257832, member: 52734"] This is the version I’m considering for my game. Witch Bolt [I]1st-level Evocation[/I] ___ [LIST] [*][B]Casting Time: 1 action[/B] [*][B]Range:[/B] 30 feet [*][B]Components:[/B] V, S. M (a twig from a tree that has been struck by lightning) [*][B]Duration:[/B] Concentration, up to 1 minute [/LIST] A beam of crackling, blue energy lances out toward a creature within range, forming a sustained arc of lightning between you and the target. Make a ranged spell attack against that creature. On a hit, the target takes 2d6 lightning damage and is grappled. As an action, the target can make a Dexterity saving throw. On a success, the target is no longer grappled. On each of your turns for the duration, you can use a bonus action to deal 2d6 lightning damage to the target automatically. The spell ends if the target is ever outside the spell's range or if it has total cover from you. [B]At Higher Levels.[/B] When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the initial damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 1st. <EDIT> Removed the line “spell ends if you do anything else with your action.” [/QUOTE]
