A stroke of lightning forming a 100-foot-long, 5-foot-wide line blasts out from you in a direction of your choice. Each creature in the line must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 8d6 lightning damage on a failure, or half as much on a success.
The lightning ignites flammable objects in the area that aren’t being worn or carried.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell by spending Mana points equal to a 4th-level spell or higher, the damage increases by 1d6 for each level above 3rd. When cast as a 5th-level spell or higher, the lightning damage becomes plasma.
