Level 2, Evocation

Casting Time: Bonus Action , Range: 60 Feet , Components: V (Vocal) - S (Somatic), Duration: 1 Minuet,
Special Material: -

Effect

  • You create a floating, spectral weapon within range that lasts for the duration or until you cast this spell again.
    When you cast the spell, you can make a melee spell attack against a creature within 5 feet of the weapon. On a hit, the target takes force damage equal to 1d8 + your spellcasting ability modifier.
    As a bonus action on your turn, you can move the weapon up to 20 feet and repeat the attack against a creature within 5 feet of it.
  • The weapon can take whatever form you choose. Clerics of deities who are associated with a particular weapon (as St. Cuthbert is known for his mace and Thor for his hammer) make this spell’s effect resemble that weapon.

At Higher Levels

  • When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d8 for every two slot levels above the 2nd.

Lore, some nice lore flavour and/or history
