You send a surge wave of arcane force at a creature or object in range. Make a ranged spell attack against the target. On a hit, they take 1d6 force damage and are pushed back 5 feet. Alternatively, you can make a melee spell attack if you are within 5 feet of the target, in which case the damage die increases to 1d8.

Cantrip Upgrade: At 5th level, it deals an extra die of damage. The damage increases again by one die at 11th and at 17th level.
