Spell

Prismatic Bolt

Created by XanaSnacks

You hurl a shard of shimmering, chromatic energy toward a foe within your sight. Make a ranged spell attack against your target, channeling one of five distinct forms of destructive power as the bolt streaks through the air. Upon impact, the prismatic shard detonates in a burst of elemental force, dealing considerable damage to the struck creature. You must determine which type of energy infuses your attack—whether it manifests as scorching flames, bitter cold, crackling electricity, brilliant radiance, or draining shadow—at the moment you cast the spell. When you cast this spell using a higher-level spell slot, the unstable shard fragments into additional shards as it flies, significantly increasing the damage dealt to your target. This spell serves as a versatile tool for any spellcaster seeking flexible elemental offense against their enemies.
