You create three glowing darts of magical force. Each dart hits a creature of your choice that you can see within range. A dart deals 1d4 + 1 force damage to its target.

The darts all strike simultaneously, and you can direct them to hit one creature or several. After allocating targets, roll damage for each dart separately.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, each dart deals an additional +1 point of damage for each slot level above 1st up to a maximum damage bonus of +5. Further, when you cast the spell with a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the spell creates an additional dart for each two slot levels above 1st to a maximum of 5 missiles. If you cast this spell with a 9th level spell slot, you can instead target up to 10 creatures within range with a missile swarm. Each missile swarm automatically deals 5d4+25 force damage to a target.
