• Initial damage of 2d6
• Damage is increased to 3d6 at level 6
• Damage is increased to 4d6 at level 11
• Spell save DC is 8 + Constitution modifier + Proficiency Bonus
• On save the target still takes half the damage

Notes

• Although similar in name and visuals,  Dazzling Breath is noticably not a Dragonborn breath attack but a Druid subclass spell.
