Thoughts

This cantrip is a save-or-take-damage spell with no attack roll. It further imposes a moderate control ability in that a failed save also causes the target to have disadvantage on the next weapon attack roll it makes. The damage also increases at the typical levels 5, 11, and 17.

It sounds nice for flavor to me, but it’s not really tempting for Sorcerers, Warlocks, and Wizards. However, considering the limited array of druid cantrips that deal damage, it may make sense to pick for a Druid.
