You create a tinkling sphere of tiny glowing musical notes and symbols whirling around your hand. You can hurl the orb of sound at a creature within range as a ranged spell attack. If you hit, the circling symbols erupt in a thunderous boom and the target takes 7d6 thunder damage, or half as much on a successful Constitution saving throw. In addition, a creature failing its save is deafened for 1 round.

Creatures within 5 feet of the target take 3d6 thunder damage, or half as much on a successful Dexterity saving throw.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d6 bludgeoning damage and 1d6 force damage for each slot level above 4th.
