What is elemental weapon 5e?

Elemental Weapon is a second-level spell in 5th edition Dungeons & Dragons. When cast, it imbues a nonmagical weapon with magical energy and endows it with elemental damage of either acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder.

The spell lasts for one hour and requires concentration to sustain. It can be used on a melee or ranged weapon and adds an extra 1d4 damage of the chosen elemental type to each successful hit.

Elemental Weapon is a versatile spell that can be useful in a variety of situations. Creatures with vulnerabilities or resistances to certain elemental types can be targeted with the appropriate damage type. It can also be used to bypass resistances to nonmagical weapons or to enhance an ally's weapon in combat.

The spell's effectiveness scales with the caster's level, adding an additional 1d4 of elemental damage at higher levels (3d4 at 9th level and 5d4 at 17th level).
