Bouncing Fireball in Dungeons & Dragons 5e

Deep Magic Volume 1

Bouncing Fireball

6-level Evocation

Casting Time: 1 action

Range/Area: 150ft.

Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material

Materials: a tiny ball of bat guano and sulfur, and three iron pins

Duration: Instant

Attack/Save: DEX Save

Damage/Effect: Fire

A bolt of flame streaks from your finger toward a point you choose within range, then explodes into an inferno of flame. Each creature within 20 feet of the explosion takes 7d6 fire damage, or half damage with a successful Dexterity saving throw. Immediately afterward, a second bolt of flame streaks from that explosion to a second target point you can see exactly 40 feet from the first explosion. It explodes again at the second target point, causing another 7d6 fire damage (halved by a successful Dexterity saving throw). Then the flame jumps instantly again to a third target point, also within your line of sight and exactly 40 feet from the second explosion, where it detonates for the final time with identical results. Note that for the second and third bursts, the flame jumps exactly 40 feet—never more, never less—and if any part of a burst area overlaps the area of a previous burst, the burst fails to happen and the spell ends immediately.

At higher levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 7th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 6th.

Available for: Sorcerer, Wizard
