You create a ring of crackling, painfully-bright lightning which hovers around you. At the beginning of your turn, choose one of the following options:

Lightning Bolts: As an action, you can cause the lightning ring to fire two lightning bolts as if cast using a 3rd-level spell slot, using your spell save DC. You choose the directions the bolts fire.

Corona Ring: As an action, you can release all of the spell's power at once. Each creature within 60 feet of you must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 6d6 lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. When you choose this option, the spell ends.

In addition, while the spell is active you gain resistance to lightning damage.

Class(es): Sorcerer, Wizard
