The initial damage does scale if you waste a higher level spell slot on it, so can do 2 or 3 d12 of damage, but it requires a hit roll so isn't 'automatic'. The continuing damage doesn't scale, it is always 1d12 so doesn't go up to 2 or 3 d12. It also requires the caster to use their action every round to maintain it, which I wouldn't call 'automatic'. Witch bolt is kind of functional but limited at really low levels and becomes a waste rather rapidly. For a warlocky thing, hex is just absurdly superior.</p></blockquote><p></p>
