Whispering to the spirits of nature, you create one of the following effects within range:
You brandish the weapon used in the spell’s casting and make a
melee attack with it against one creature within 5 feet of you. On a
hit, the target suffers the weapon attack’s normal effects, and you
can cause green fire to leap from the target to a different creature of
your choice that you can see within 5 feet of it. The second creature
takes fire damage equal to your spellcasting ability modifier
This spell’s damage increases when you reach certain levels. At 5th
level, the melee attack deals an extra 1d8 fire damage to the target
on a hit, and the fire damage to the second creature increases to 1d8
+ your spellcasting ability modifier. Both damage rolls increase by 1d8
at 11th level (2d8 and 2d8) and 17th level (3d8 and 3d8).
