Spiritual Weapon

2-level Evocation

Casting Time: 1 bonus action

Range/Area: 60'

Components: Verbal, Somatic

Duration: 1 minute

Attack/Save: Melee

Damage/Effect: 1d8 radiant

You create a floating, spectral weapon within range that lasts for the duration or until you cast this spell again.

When you cast the spell, you can make a melee spell attack against a creature within 5 feet of the weapon. On a hit, the target takes force damage equal to 1d8 + your spellcasting ability modifier.

As a bonus action on your turn, you can move the weapon up to 20 feet and repeat the attack against a creature within 5 feet of it.

The weapon can take whatever form you choose. Clerics of deities who are associated with a particular weapon (as St. Cuthbert is known for his mace and Thor for his hammer) make this spell’s effect resemble that weapon.

At higher levels:

When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d8 for every two slot levels above the 2nd.
