You draw an arc of lightning between the target and the tips of your fingers. Make a ranged spell attack against the target. On a hit, the target takes 12d4 lightning damage. If you roll a 3 or higher on one or more of the damage dice, the lightning leaps to a second creature you can see within 50 feet of the original, and you can make a second ranged spell attack against the new target. If you roll a 4 on one or more of the damage dice for the second strike, the lightning leaps again towards a third creature you can see within 25 feet of the second, and you can make a third ranged spell attack against that target. The arc cannot target a creature more than once or target more than three creatures.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, the damage die increases by 1 size for each slot above 5th.
