Witch Bolt is a Level 1 Evocation Spell. This spell allows spellcasters to hit enemies with a blue ray of electrifying energy that deals Lightning damage to them.

A successful hit with this bolt will create an arc of lightning between the target and the caster, which can be activated to cast the spell again that automatically hit the target without expending spell slots.
