Lightning springs from your hand to deliver a shock to a creature you try to touch. Make a melee spell attack. You have advantage on the attack roll if the target is wearing armor made of metal. On a hit, the target takes 1d8 lightning damage, and it can't take reactions until the start of its next turn.

At Higher Tiers

Damage increases to 2d8 at 5th level, 3d8 at 11th level, and 4d8 at 17th level.
