When this spell is cast, a 20-foot radius sphere of swirling air appears at a point you can see within range. A creature caught in the area when the vortex appears or starts its turn there must make a Dexterity saving throw or take 2d6 bludgeoning damage from the battering winds. Thereafter, the spellcaster can use an action to call a lightning bolt from the vortex. The lightning bolt streaks out up to 120 feet toward a target you can see within range. The creature must make a Dexterity saving throw or take 4d6 lightning damage or have as much on a successful save.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 8th level or higher, the bludgeoning damage from the winds increases by 1d6, and you can call one additional lightning bolt for each slot level above 7th.
