Sleeting Slice

2nd-level conjuration

Classes: Druid, ranger, sorcerer, warden
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

You extract water from the air, forming a blade of snow and ice frozen to your hand. When you cast this spell, and then as an action on each of your turns until the spell ends, you can use this weapon to make a melee spell attack against a creature within 5 feet. On a hit, the blade shatters, your concentration ends, and the target takes 1d6 slashing and 2d6 cold damage. In addition, each creature within 5 feet of the target (excluding you) must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take 1d6 piercing and 2d6 cold damage.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the cold damage dealt by the initial attack and by the shards increases by 1d6 each.
