You create a floating, spectral weapon within range that lasts for the duration or until you cast this spell again. When you cast the spell and as a bonus action on each of your turns for the duration, you can make a melee spell attack against a creature you can see within 5 feet of the weapon. On a hit, the target takes 1d8 + your spellcasting ability modifier force damage.

The weapon can take whatever form you choose and the weapon immediately disappear if it is ever more than 60 feet away from you.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d8 for every two slot levels above 2nd.
