You form a floating, spinning disc of magical force that you then aim and shoot in a straight path towards a point you can see. Every creature in the path, a 60-foot long, 5-foot wide line, must make a Dexterity saving throw, taking 7d6 force damage on a failed save, or none on a successful save.

At the end of the disc’s flight path, the disc explodes in a 5-foot radius. Every creature in the explosion’s area must make a Constitution saving throw, taking 7d6 force damage on a failed save, or half damage on a successful save. In addition, on a failed save, a creature is pushed 10 feet away from the origin of the explosion.

If the disc is blocked by an obstruction, the disc explodes at the point of impact in a 5-foot radius. Every creature in the explosion’s area must make a Constitution saving throw, taking 7d6 force damage on a failed save, or half damage on a successful save. In addition, on a failed save, a creature is pushed 10 feet away from the origin of the explosion.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, both the line damage and explosion damage each increase by 1d6 for each slot level above 4th.
