As a swift action, you shape your ''eldritch blast'' into the form of a spear of force. This works like the ''thunderlance'' spell, except the duration is only 1 round, and its base damage is equal to your ''eldritch blast'' damage rather than the normal amount. You can choose to apply an eldritch essence you know when activating ''tempest chant'', and each time you strike a creature with the ''thunderlance'' that creature is affected by the essence. | As a swift action, you shape your ''eldritch blast'' into the form of a spear of force.
