Grasping the seed used in the spell's casting, you cause two plant growths along your arm, shoulder, or similar part of the body. These growths could resemble large thorns, jagged branches, hard-shelled seeds, or razor-sharp leaves.
For the duration, as a bonus action, you can sever one of the growths from your body and launch it at a creature that you can see within 30 feet of you. Make a ranged spell attack. On a hit, the target suffers 1d6 of your choice of bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage. Alternatively, you can launch all the growths at once as an action, directing them at one or multiple targets, making a separate attack roll for each.
At higher levels: The spell creates additional growths when you reach higher levels: three growths at 5th level, four growths at 11th level, and five growths at 17th level. For the duration, as a bonus action, you can sever one of the growths from your body and launch it at a creature that you can see within 30 feet of you. Make a ranged spell attack. On a hit, the target suffers 1d6 of your choice of bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage. Alternatively, you can launch all the growths at once as an action, directing them at one or multiple targets, making a separate attack roll for each.
