After using absorb elements, will melee spell attacks grant the extra damage from absorb elements?
1 Answer
Yes any melee attack works.
Also, the first time you hit with a melee attack on your next turn, the target takes an extra 1d6 damage of the triggering type, and the spell ends.
[emphasis mine]
This does not distinguish between weapon attack, spell attack, or otherwise so a spell attack would trigger the effect.
