A beam of brilliant light flashes out from your hand in a 5-­foot-­wide, 60-­foot-­long line. Each creature in the line must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 6d8 radiant damage and is blinded until your next turn. On a successful save, it takes half [3] as much damage and isn’t blinded by this spell. Undead and oozes have disadvantage on this saving throw.

You can create a new line of radiance as your action on any turn until the spell ends.

For the duration, a mote of brilliant radiance shines in your hand. It sheds bright light in a 30-­foot radius and dim light for an additional 30 feet. This light is sunlight.
