You cast sorcerous energy at one creature or object within range. Make a ranged attack roll against the target. On a hit, the target takes dice:1d8|noform|noparens|avg (1d8) damage of a type you choose: Acid, Cold, Fire, Lightning, Poison, Psychic, or Thunder.
If you roll an 8 on a dice:d8|noform|noparens|avg (d8) for this spell, you can roll another dice:d8|noform|noparens|avg (d8), and add it to the damage. When you cast this spell, the maximum number of these d8s you can add to the spell’s damage equals your spellcasting ability modifier.
