Stormshot - Evocation Cantrip Spell (Patreon)

🏹⚡🌲 In the deep, enchanted woods where magic and nature entwine, a powerful spell known as "Stormshot" was conceived. This spell, a secret of the elven kind, harnesses the raw energy of thunderstorms, channeling it into the flight of an arrow. It was said to have originated during a time of great need, when the elven defenders of the forest were pressed by a darkness that threatened to engulf their ancient home.

In their direst hour, an elven sorcerer, in tune with the forces of nature, reached out to the heart of the storm. The sky responded, infusing their arrows with the might of thunder and the swiftness of lightning. Each arrow loosed with this spell echoed the storm's fury, turning the tide in defense of their realm.  🏹⚡🌲
