Storms Herald

Long ago, Tiberius Stormkirk had a dream of the end times. In that dream he gazed upon a warhammer that would herald both the end and the new beginning. When he awoke, he called upon the fnest smiths in the kingdom and tasked them to create the weapon imprinted in his mind. Thus, Storm’s Herald was created. Dwarven runes of power are etched along the surface of this exquisite magic weapon. The warhammer feels unnaturally light when wielded yet it strikes with tremendous force.

The spell fails if you can’t see a point in the air where the storm cloud could appear (for example, if you are in a room that can’t accommodate the cloud).
When you cast the spell, choose a point you can see within range. A bolt of lightning flashes down from the cloud to that point. Each creature within 5 feet of that point must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 3d10 lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. On each of your turns until the spell ends, you can use your action to call down lightning in this way again, targeting the same point or a different one.
If you are outdoors in stormy conditions when you cast this spell, the spell gives you control over the existing storm instead of creating a new one. Under such conditions, the spell’s damage increases by 1d10.
