Found this post on reddit. I DIDN'T COME UP WITH THIS SPELL.

https://www.reddit.com/r/UnearthedArcana/comments/7ggl73/spell_is_this_balanced_minefield_4thlevel/?st=jals1us4&sh=4c217bf5


Minefield

4th-level conjuration

Casting Time: 1 action

Range: 180 feet

Components: V, S, M (the swim bladder of a shark)

Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

You create up to 5 magical bombs within range at unoccupied locations that you can see. Each bomb is a 1 foot diameter sphere that glows brilliantly, shedding bright light in 10 feet around it, and dim light for an additional 10 feet. The bombs float 5 feet from the ground, bobbing up and down slowly.
If 10 or more damage is dealt to a bomb as part of a single attack, spell, or ability, it will explode. Each bomb has an AC of 10 and automatically fails all saving throws. When a bomb explodes, all targets within 15 feet of the bomb must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take 2d10 thunder damage and 2d8 fire damage, or half as much on a successful save. A bomb is also subjected to this damage, making it possible to cause a chain explosion. If a target is subjected to 2 or more exploding bombs at once, they only take the damage from a single bomb.
When the spell ends, all bombs that have not blown up vanish.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, you can create an additional bomb for each spell slot level above 4th.



What do you guys think of this spell?

Seems weak for a 4th level spell that is going to use your concentration.

Yeah it's alright. Certainly not overpowered what with the one minute w/ concentration, non-stacking damage and how obvious they are. The chaining is nice though, makes for a larger area of effect for less damage than something like fireball.
