Spiritual Weapon in Dungeons & Dragons 5e

PHB pg. 278

Spiritual Weapon

2-level Evocation

Casting Time: 1 bonus action

Range/Area: 60

Components: V, S

Duration: 1 minute

You create a floating, spectral weapon within range that lasts for the duration or until you cast this spell again. When you cast the spell, you can make a melee spell attack against a creature within 5 feet of the weapon. On a hit, the target takes force damage equal to 1d8+your spellcasting ability modifier. As a bonus action on your turn, you can move the weapon up to 20 feet and repeat the attack against a creature within 5 feet of it. The weapon can take on whatever form you choose. Clerics of deities who are associated with a particular weapon (as St. Cuthbert is known for his mace and Thor for his hammer) make this spell's effect resemble that weapon.

At higher levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level of higher, the damage increases by 1d8 for every two slot levels above the 2nd.

Available for: Cleric
