'''Eldritch Blast''' is an Evocation '''[[Spells#Cantrips|Cantrip]]'''. This spell allows spellcasters to shoot out an energy beam that deals Force damage to enemies.

| summary = The cantrip allows the spellcaster to shoot out an energy beam that deals {{DamageType|Force}} damage, and that can be upgraded with Warlock abilities.
| description = Conjure a beam of crackling energy. Deals {{DamageText|1d10|Force}} damage to a target.

| damage = 1d10
| damage type = Force
| range = ranged
| higher levels = Unlike other cantrips whose damage increases at certain character levels, Eldritch Blast, instead, creates multiple beams at higher levels: {{DamageInfo|1d10|Force|per=ray}}
* '''2''' beams at [[character level]] 5
* '''3''' beams at character level 10
You can either target a single creature or multiple creatures with the beams. Each beam rolls a separate {{Attack Roll}} and is affected by the selected [[Eldritch Invocations]] (see notes for further details).
| notes = * The benefits of {{RarityItem|Potent Robe}}, various effects like [[Lightning Charges (Condition)|Lightning Charges]], and [[Eldritch Invocations]], such as {{SAI|Agonising Blast}} or {{SAI|Repelling Blast}}, are applied to each beam.
** While {{SAI|Repelling Blast}} applies to each beam, it can only knock back a creature once per cast.
* A target afflicted by {{SAI|Hex}} will take additional {{DamageText|1d6|Necrotic}} damage from '''each''' beam.
* Can be subject to [[Counterspell]].
* When interacting with effects like {{Cond|Death Ward}} and dealing multiple attacks to the same creature, assuming the 1st attack was sufficient to {{Cond|Downed|down}} the target the 2nd attack appears to apply before the {{Cond|Death Ward}} activates, which means that after 2 attacks the target would lose the {{Cond|Death Ward}} but remain with 1HP. If the initial attack would have 3 applications then the target would be {{Cond|Downed|downed}} on 1st attack and again on 3rd attack. In case of Avatars it means that, whilst having a {{Cond|Death Ward}} applied, they would need to receive 6 attack applications to fully die: 2 to break down the ward, 1 to get downed and 3 more to fail 3 Death Saves. This effect seems to apply to all multi-application attacks, like {{SAI|Magic Missile}} and {{SAI|Scorching Ray}} (as of 4.1.1.3669438).
*The incantation for Eldritch Blast is '''Dolor''', Latin for "pain/anguish".

The spell creates multiple beams at higher levels (2 beams at Level 5). You can target the same creature or multiple creatures with these beams. Each beam makes an [[Attack Roll]].

* The '''Repelling Blast''' [[Eldritch Invocations|Eldritch Invocation]] will only knock a target back once if struck by multiple beams.
