The SendingStone review

Scorching Ray is a strong spell that can deal high amounts of fire damage to enemies. It has a short casting time, making it a good option for sorcerers and wizards during battles. While the spell requires line of sight to accurately target enemies, it has a range of 120 feet, providing a good amount of flexibility to players. The spell scales well with higher spell slots, allowing it to deal even greater amounts of damage as players advance in level. However, the spell does have limitations, including a lack of area of effect damage and its inability to bypass fire resistance or immunity. Overall, Scorching Ray is a useful damage dealing spell that can be valuable to players in combat situations.
