As part of the casting of this spell you ready an action, holding the spell until another creature you can see within 60 feet hits a target with a melee weapon attack, at which point you release this spell as a reaction to wrap the creature’s weapon in tendrils of lightning as it strikes. The weapon attack deals an additional 3d8 lightning damage to the target (which you roll).

If you do not use this spell's effect before the start of your next turn, it is lost.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, you increase the damage by 1d8 for each slot level higher than 1st.
