# Thunderwave *1st-level, Evocation* - **Casting time:** 1 Action - **Range:** Self (15-foot Cube) - **Components:** V, S - **Duration:** Instantaneous You unleash a wave of thunderous energy. Each creature in a 15-foot [Cube](/Rules/Source/variant-rules/cube-area-of-effect-xphb.md) originating from you makes a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes `dice:2d8|noform|noparens|avg` (`2d8`) Thunder damage and is pushed 10 feet away from you. On a successful save, a creature takes half as much damage only. In addition, unsecured objects that are entirely within the [Cube](/Rules/Source/variant-rules/cube-area-of-effect-xphb.md) are pushed 10 feet away from you, and a thunderous boom is audible within 300 feet. **Using a Higher-Level Spell Slot.** The damage increases by `dice:1d8|noform|noparens|avg|text(1d8)` for each spell slot level above 1. **Classes**: [Artificer (Armorer)](/Rules/Source/lists/list-spells-classes-armorer-tce.md "subclass=TCE;class=TCE"); [Artificer (Artillerist)](/Rules/Source/lists/list-spells-classes-artillerist-tce.md "subclass=TCE;class=TCE"); [Bard (College of Lore)](/Rules/Source/lists/list-spells-classes-college-of-lore-xphb.md "subclass=XPHB;class=XPHB"); [Bard](/Rules/Source/lists/list-spells-classes-bard.md); [Druid (Circle of the Sea)](/Rules/Source/lists/list-spells-classes-circle-of-the-sea-xphb.md "subclass=XPHB;class=XPHB"); [Druid](/Rules/Source/lists/list-spells-classes-druid.md); [Fighter (Eldritch Knight)](/Rules/Source/lists/list-spells-classes-eldritch-knight-xphb.md "subclass=XPHB;class=XPHB"); [Rogue (Arcane Trickster)](/Rules/Source/lists/list-spells-classes-arcane-trickster-xphb.md "subclass=XPHB;class=XPHB"); [Sorcerer](/Rules/Source/lists/list-spells-classes-sorcerer.md); [Warlock (The Fathomless)](/Rules/Source/lists/list-spells-classes-the-fathomless-tce.md "subclass=TCE;class=XPHB"); [Warlock (The Genie, Djinni)](/Rules/Source/lists/list-spells-classes-the-genie-tce.md "subclass=TCE;class=XPHB"); [Wizard (Evoker)](/Rules/Source/lists/list-spells-classes-evoker-xphb.md "subclass=XPHB;class=XPHB"); [Wizard](/Rules/Source/lists/list-spells-classes-wizard.md) *Source: Player's Handbook (2024) p. 334.
