# Moonbeam *2nd-level, Evocation* - **Casting time:** 1 action - **Range:** 120 feet - **Components:** V, S, a moonseed leaf - **Duration:** Concentration, up to 1 minute A silvery beam of pale light shines down in a 5-foot-radius, 40-foot-high Cylinder centered on a point within range. Until the spell ends, [Dim Light](dim-light-xphb.md) fills the Cylinder, and you can take a [Magic](actions.md#Magic) action on later turns to move the Cylinder up to 60 feet. When the Cylinder appears, each creature in it makes a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes `2d10` Radiant damage, and if the creature is shape-shifted (as a result of the [Polymorph](polymorph-xphb.md) spell, for example), it reverts to its true form and can't shape-shift until it leaves the Cylinder. On a successful save, a creature takes half as much damage only. A creature also makes this save when the spell's area moves into its space and when it enters the spell's area or ends its turn there. A creature makes this save only once per turn. **Using a Higher-Level Spell Slot.** The damage increases by `1d10` for each spell slot level above 2. **Classes**: [Bard](list-spells-classes-bard.md); [Druid](list-spells-classes-druid.md); [Druid](list-spells-classes-druid.md); [Druid (Circle of the Moon)](list-spells-classes-druid-xphb-circle-of-the-moon-xphb.md); [Bard (College of Lore)](list-spells-classes-bard-xphb-college-of-lore-xphb.md); [Paladin (Oath of the Ancients)](list-spells-classes-paladin-xphb-oath-of-the-ancients-xphb.md) *Source: Player's Handbook (2024) p. 300.
