Notes

• This action is actually an AoE attack. After striking the main target, an additional attack is made against every creature and object within the 3 m (10 ft) radius around that target, including allies.
• On-hit reactions such as  Divine Smite can be applied to each creature hit by this action (at the cost of multiple spell slots, in the case of Divine Smite).

Bugs

• The in-game tooltip for this action is inaccurate and missing key information about it being an AoE attack.
• The tooltip claims there is an associated  Constitution Saving Throw, but this is not true.
