| summary = It is also granted to [[Draconic Bloodline]] [[Sorcerer]]s of Blue (Lightning) Draconic Ancestry. This spell allows spellcasters to hit enemies with a blue ray of electrifying energy that deals Lightning damage to them initially and also on subsequent turns.

 

A successful hit with this bolt will create an arc of lightning between the target and the caster. It can then be activated again on subsequent turns to automatically hit the target without expending spell slots. This arc will disappear and end the spell early if not activated on subsequent turns, or if the caster and the target move out of range of each other.
