You release a surge of lightning that arcs between enemies.   Choose one creature you can see within range as the primary target. Up to three additional creatures of your choice within 30 feet of the primary target are struck by arcing lightning.   Each target must make a Dexterity saving throw.   On a failed save, a target takes 6d8 lightning damage.   On a successful save, a target takes half as much damage.   A creature can be targeted only once by this spell.
