## Description
You hurl an undulating, warbling mass of chaotic energy at one creature in range. Make a ranged spell attack against the target. On a hit, the target takes **2d8 + 1d6 damage**. Choose one of the d8s — the number rolled on that die determines the attack's damage type:
| d8 | Damage Type |
|---|---|
| 1 | Acid |
| 2 | Cold |
| 3 | Fire |
| 4 | Force |
| 5 | Lightning |
| 6 | Poison |
| 7 | Psychic |
| 8 | Thunder |
If you roll the same number on both d8s, the chaotic energy leaps from the target to a different creature of your choice within 30 feet of it. Make a new attack roll against the new target, and make a new damage roll, which could cause the energy to leap again.

## At Higher Levels
When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, each target takes **1d6 extra damage** of the type rolled for each slot level above 1st.
