Elemental Blade
Elemental (any) 2nd level
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self

You summon an elemental blade in your free hand. The blade is similar in size and shape to a scimitar, and remains for the duration of the spell. If you drop the blade, it disappears, but you can summon it again with a bonus action.
The blade can be used to make a magical melee attack, using your action. With a hit, the target takes 3d6 damage based on the element used. Each element has a secondary effect that can be seen in the table “Effects for Spells by Damage Type,” found in Chapter 10: Conjuration.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell by expending mana points equal to a spell of 3rd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d6 for each spell level above 2nd. When cast as a spell of 5th level or higher, this spell's damage becomes magical.
