Target one creature or location within range. The target must be open to the sky, and cannot be indoors.

In addition, each creature within 15ft of the striking point must also make a Dexterity saving throw, taking half of the damage rolled on a failure.
If this spell is cast at an invalid target, or no target was specified, the lightning bolt automatically targets the tallest creature or metal object within range.
