| Call Lightning | | Level: | 3 | School: | Conjuration | | Components: | V, S | CastingTime: | 1 action | | Duration: | Concentration, up to 10 minutes | MaterialComponents: | | | Bard: | | Cleric: | | | Druid: | x | Paladin: | | | Ranger: | | Sorcerer: | | | Warlock: | | Wizard: | | | Blurb: | Bolts of lightning flash down from a cloud you conjure. | Range: | 120 feet | | Description: | A storm cloud appears in the shape of a cylinder that is 10 feet tall with a 60-foot radius, centered on a point you can see 100 feet directly above you. The spell fails if you can’t see a point in the air where the storm cloud could appear (for example, if you are in a room that can’t accommodate the cloud).
When you cast the spell, choose a point you can see within range. A bolt of lightning flashes down from the cloud to that point. Each creature within 5 feet of that point must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 3d10 lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. On each of your turns until the spell ends, you can use your action to call down lightning in this way again, targeting the same point or a different one.
If you are outdoors in stormy conditions when you cast this spell, the spell gives you control over the existing storm instead of creating a new one. Under such conditions, the spell’s damage increases by 1d10.
At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th or higher level, the damage increases by 1d10 for each slot level above 3rd. |
