Nettle Blade
4-level Conjuration
Casting Time: 1 bonus action
Range/Area: Self
Components: V, S, M
Materials: a melee weapon
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
A shimmering mass of nettles encompasses the end of
melee weapons you hold. The next time you hit a creature
with a melee weapon attack before the spell ends, the
nettles violently explode. In addition to the normal effect
of the attack, the target of the attack and each creature of
your choice within 5 feet of it must make a Dexterity
saving throw. A creature takes 4d10 piercing damage on a
failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
At higher levels: If you cast this spell using a spell slot of
5th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d10 for each
slot level above 4th.
