## Description
The next time you hit a creature with a ranged weapon attack before the spell ends, this spell creates a rain of thorns that sprouts from your ranged weapon or ammunition. In addition to the normal effect of the attack, the target of the attack and each creature within 5 feet of it must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes **1d10 piercing damage** on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one.

## At Higher Levels
When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the damage increases by **1d10** for each slot level above 1st (to a maximum of 6d10).
