> **Casting Time:** Bonus Action, which you take immediately after hitting or missing a target with a ranged attack using a weapon > **Range:** Self > **Components:** V, S > **Duration:** Instantaneous As your attack hits or misses the target, the weapon or ammunition you're using transforms into a lightning bolt. Instead of taking any damage or other effects from the attack, the target takes 4d8 Lightning damage on a hit or half as much damage on a miss. Each creature within 10 feet of the target then makes a DEX saving throw, taking 2d8 Lightning damage on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one. The weapon or ammunition then returns to its normal form. **Using a Higher-Level Spell Slot.** The damage for both effects of the spell increases by 1d8 for each spell slot level above 3. **Classes:** #Ranger
