Electrostatic Burst

6th-level evocation

Casting Time: 1 action

Range: Self (30-foot-radius sphere)

Components: V, S, M* (electric eel leather)

Duration: Instantaneous

You gather a massive amount of static energy and release it in one massive burst. Creatures other than yourself in a 30-foot-radius sphere centered on yourself must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take 6d10 lightning damage and become paralyzed until the end of their next turn. Any creature wearing metal armor or holding a metal weapon, or is made of metal, has disadvantage on this saving throw. Any constructs made of metal that fail this saving throw become incapacitated for 1 minute instead.

A creature who succeeds on this saving throw takes half of the damage and is not paralyzed or incapacitated.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 7th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d10 for every slot level above 6th.
