You conjure up a length of sharp copper filament humming with electrical current that strikes out at your foe. Make a ranged spell attack against the target. On a hit, the wire deals 1d6 slashing damage and 1d6 electricity damage.

Critical Success: The target takes double damage and 1d4 persistent electricity damage. Failure: The target takes the electricity damage, but not the slashing damage.
Critical Failure The target is unaffected. Roll slashing and electricity damage. The higher of the two is dealt to you instead, applying resistances and immunities as normal.

Empower: Increase the slashing and electricity damage by 1d6

At Higher Levels: This spell is automatically empowered by 1 level when you reach 5th level and once more at 9th level.
