# Chaos Bolt *1st-level, Evocation* - **Casting time:** 1 Action - **Range:** 120 feet - **Components:** V, S - **Duration:** Instantaneous You hurl an undulating, warbling mass of chaotic energy at one creature in range. Make a ranged spell attack against the target. On a hit, the target takes `2d8 + 1d6` damage. Choose one of the `d8`s. The number rolled on that die determines the attack's damage type, as shown below. **Chaos Bolt** | dice: d8 | Damage Type | |----------|-------------| | 1 | Acid | | 2 | Cold | | 3 | Fire | | 4 | Force | | 5 | Lightning | | 6 | Poison | | 7 | Psychic | | 8 | Thunder | ^chaos-bolt If you roll the same number on both `d8`s, the chaotic energy leaps from the target to a different creature of your choice within 30 feet of it. Make a new attack roll against the new target, and make a new damage roll, which could cause the chaotic energy to leap again. A creature can be targeted only once by each casting of this spell. **At Higher Levels.** When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, each target takes `1d6` extra damage of the type rolled for each slot level above 1st. **Classes**: [Sorcerer](/3-Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-sorcerer.md) *Source: Xanathar's Guide to Everything p. 151*
