Darkbolt (5e Spell)
With a quick invocation you call forth a nimbus of jet-black night around your hands, from which you shoot black bolts of power that trail wisps of terrible darkness.

Components: | V, S |

You unleash seven bolts of darkness from your open palms and fire them at targets within range. You can fire them at one target or several. Make a ranged spell attack for each bolt. On a hit, a target takes 2D8 necrotic damage and must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, the target is stunned until the end of its next turn. Choose one of the following two options when you cast this spell:
- You can fire all the bolts at once, and all targets must be within 60 feet of each other. When you use this option, the spell's duration is instantaneous.
- When you cast this spell -and as a bonus action on each of your turns thereafter- you can expend one or two of the bolts to fire them at a target or targets you choose within range. When you use this option, the spell's duration is Concentration, up to 10 minutes.
No matter how many bolts strike a single target, a target can only be stunned until the end of its next turn.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, you create one additional bolt for each slot level above 5th.
