Valid, but I'm still more concerned about "why should I spend a spell slot to deal 1d12 damage, when a Cantrip is 2d10".

Sure, IF you hit, you can do a guaranteed 1d12 on subsequent turns. But I would still rather cast another 2d10 Fire Bolt. Wet condition doubling the damage is also a bad reason, as Glyph of Warding can already demonstrate. Lightning Bolt will be even more OP.

Witch Bolt is one of those spells that desperately needs a new version in OneDnD. And hopefully Larian can implement the new version. A higher damage single hit, line AoE, or a Bonus Action recast Concentration spell.
