Shocking Grasp

Evocation cantrip

It seems odd but as part of the somatic gestures of this spell, you shuffle your feet and rub your hand against your clothing. As you reach out to touch your enemy, electricity thrills through you from the ground to spark and crackle from your fingertips.

Casting Time: 1 action 

Range: Touch 

Components: V, S 

Duration: Instantaneous

Mul Effect: None

Lightning springs from your hand to deliver a shock to a creature you try to touch. Make a melee spell attack against the target. You have advantage on the attack roll if the target is wearing armor made of metal. On a hit, the target takes 1d8 lightning damage, and it can’t take reactions until the start of its next turn.

The spell’s damage increases by 1d8 when you reach 5th level (2d8), 11th level (3d8), and 17th level (4d8).
