Damage Type
Lightning
Lightning springs from you to a creature that you try to touch. Make a melee spell attack against the target. On a hit, the target takes 1D8 Lightning damage, and it can’t make Opportunity Attacks until the start of its next turn. If the target is wearing metal armor you make the attack with advantage.
Cantrip Upgrade
The damage increases by 1D8 when you reach levels 5 (2D8), 11 (3D8), and 17 (4D8).
