# Booming Blade > [!info] Spell Details > | | | > |---|---| > | **Level** | Cantrip | > | **School** | [[Evocation]] | > | **Casting Time** | 1 Action | > | **Range** | Self (5-foot radius) | > | **Components** | V, M *(a melee weapon worth at least 1 sp)* | > | **Duration** | 1 round | > | **Classes** | Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard, Artificer | --- ## Description You brandish the weapon used in the spell's casting and make a melee attack with it against one creature within 5 feet of you. On a hit, the target suffers the weapon attack's normal effects and then becomes sheathed in booming energy until the start of your next turn. If the target willingly moves 5 feet or more before then, the target takes **1d8 thunder damage**, and the spell ends. --- ## Cantrip Scaling At **5th level**, the melee attack deals an extra **1d8 thunder damage** on a hit, and the movement damage increases to **2d8**. Both increase by 1d8 at 11th level (2d8 / 3d8) and 17th level (3d8 / 4d8).
