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 dice:2d8+1d6|noform|noparens|avg (2d8 + 1d6) damage. Choose one of the dice:d8|noform|noparens|avg (d8)s. The number rolled on that die determines the attack’s damage type, as shown below.

If you roll the same number on both dice:d8|noform|noparens|avg (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 dice:1d6|noform|noparens|avg|text(1d6) extra damage of the type rolled for each slot level above 1st.
