Magic PointsSpell Slots

3-point evocation
Casting time:	1 action
Range:	30 feet
Components:	V, S
Duration:	Concentration, up to 1 minute

A ray of flashing white-and-yellow lightning springs from you to seize the muscles of a creature in range that you can see. Make a ranged spell attack against the target. On a hit, the target takes 3d6 lightning damage, and is grappled by you if it isn't immune to lightning damage. On each of your subsequent turns for the duration, you can use your action to deal 3d6 lightning damage to the target if it is range and does not have total cover from you. If by the end of a subsequent turn you don't use this action, the spell ends.
     On each of its turns, the target can use its action to escape the grapple. It makes a Strength (Athletics) check against your spell save DC, escaping on a success. A creature with resistance to lightning damage automatically succeeds on this check.
     If the target escapes this grapple, the spell ends.
     Upcast. You can upcast this spell by expending extra magic points when you cast it.  For every two extra points, add 1d6 to the initial and subsequent damage.
