Shooting Stars

8th-level evocation (Bard,Sorcerer,Wizard)


  • Casting Time: 1 action
  • Range: 90 feet
  • Components: V, S, M (a wax candle lit and held for the duration)
  • Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

Three fiery orbs appear and hover above you for the duration. As part of the action used to cast the spell, you can launch all the motes at targets you can see within range. However, a target can attempt a Dexterity saving throw to avoid the fiery motes. On a failed save, the target takes 2d6 fire damage, and the mote detonates. The target and each creature within 10-feet of the burst must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save a creature takes 5d6 fire damage, or half as much on a successful one. Targets within 45 feet of the caster have disadvantage on the initial saving throw. If a target makes the initial Dexterity saving throw, the mote misses and flies to the extent of the spell's range and then bursts with the same effects described above. The caster can fire all the motes the first round or use an action to fire the remaining motes before the duration expires.
