You hurl a 4-inch-diameter sphere of energy at a creature within range. You choose acid, cold, fire, lightning, poison, or thunder for the type of orb you create, and then make a spell attack against the target. If the attack hits, the target takes 3d10 damage of the type you chose.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the damage increases by 3d10 for each two slot levels above 1st.
