Notes

• This is the only cantrip in the game whose damage innately scales with your spellcasting modifier. Usually, this scaling is only available from additional passives such as Agonising Blast or Gregarious Caster.
• Despite having a range of 9 m (30 ft), this cantrip actually uses a melee spell attack roll. This means the caster does not suffer from  Disadvantage when attacking in close range. It can also trigger abilities which activate with melee attacks, both from the caster (e.g.  Touch of Death) and the enemy (e.g.  Shield Blow).
• The incantation for Sorrowful Lash is the same as Thorn Whip: Fragilo, Latin for "brittle" or "frail."
