"O blast of thunder, erupt!"

A wave of thunderous force sweeps out from you.

Each creature in a 6m Cube emanating from you must make a Constitution saving throw, taking 2d8 Sonic damage.

In addition, unsecured objects that are completely within the area of effect are automatically pushed 4m away from you by the spell's effect, and the spell emits a thunderous boom audible out to 100m.

Critical Success (+10). The target is unaffected.
Success. The target takes half damage.
Failure. The target takes full damage and is pushed 4m away.
Critical Failure (–10). The target takes 1.5× damage and is pushed 8m away.


At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 1st.

Unlike in Pokemon, this doesn't automatically paralyse creatures.
