I have a question about spells which require concentration. When one casts the spell and holding concentration .. does the spell end when it performs its function or does it continue to be held for the duration and do damage time after time until it ends. ? here is an example I was wondering about..
Hail of Thorns.. does it end when a creature is damaged by it ? or does it continue for the whole minute ??
Hail of Thorns
(1st-level conjuration)
Casting Time: 1 bonus action
Range: Self
Components: V
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
The next time you hit a creature with a ranged weapon attack before the spell ends, this spell creates a rain of thorns that sprouts from your ranged weapon or ammunition. In addition to the normal effect of the attack, the target of the attack and each creature within 5 feet of it must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 1d10 piercing damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
At Higher Levels. If you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d10 for each slot level above 1st (to a maximum of 6d10).
