On a successful save, a creature takes half the initial damage only. **Using a Higher-Level Spell Slot.** The initial damage increases by `2d4` for each spell slot level above 4. **Classes**: [Bard](list-spells-classes-bard.md); [Sorcerer](list-spells-classes-sorcerer.md); [Sorcerer](list-spells-classes-sorcerer.md); [Wizard](list-spells-classes-wizard.md); [Wizard](list-spells-classes-wizard.md); [Rogue (Arcane Trickster)](list-spells-classes-rogue-xphb-arcane-trickster-xphb.md); [Fighter (Eldritch Knight)](list-spells-classes-fighter-xphb-eldritch-knight-xphb.md); [Wizard (Evoker)](list-spells-classes-wizard-xphb-evoker-xphb.md) *Source: Player's Handbook (2024) p. 337*
