Heat Metal: Reapply Damage

Reapply Heat Metal is a level 2 transmutation spell. This spell allows spellcasters to re-heat up a metal weapon or armour on the targeted creature, forcing them to let go or receive damage or suffer various penalties.

Description

Cause a metal Weapon or Armour to glow red-hot and force the creature touching it to let go or receive  Disadvantage on  Attack rolls and Ability Checks. If the creature is only wearing metal armour, it always receives Disadvantage.

If the creature is still touching the metal, you can use a Bonus Action on subsequent turns to  Reapply Heat Metal to deal another 2d8⁠⁠Fire damage and force the creature to let go or receive Disadvantage.
