\subsection{Lightning Bolt}\label{lightning-bolt}

\emph{3rd-level evocation}

  \textbf{Casting Time:} 1 action

A stroke of lightning forming a line 100 feet long and 5 feet wide
blasts out from you in a direction you choose. Each creature in the line
must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 8d6 lightning
damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

The lightning ignites flammable objects in the area that aren't being
worn or carried.

\textbf{At Higher Levels:} When you cast this spell using a spell slot
of 4th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level
above 3rd.
