| Cantrip | 1 Action | Touch | V,S | Instantaneous | [[Evocation]] | Melee | Lightning |
Lightning springs from you to a creature that you try to touch. Make a melee spell attack against the target. On a hit, the target takes 1d8 Lightning damage, and it can’t make [Opportunity Attacks](https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/dnd/free-rules/rules-glossary#OpportunityAttack) until the start of its next turn.
**_Cantrip Upgrade._** The damage increases by 1d8 when you reach levels 5 (2d8), 11 (3d8), and 17 (4d8).
