Tweaked from 5eYou already know this as 5e Eldritch Blast (likely) — Like Eldritch Blast it's your go-to 1d10 ranged attack-roll blast, but this one is a leveled slot (not a cantrip) and adds a small cold-damage explosion with a Dex save around the target.
Ranged tech attack for 1d10 kinetic; hit or miss, the shard explodes for 2d6 cold to the target and all creatures within 5 feet.

You release a shard of cryogenic energy at one creature within range. Make a ranged tech attack against the target. On a hit, the target takes 1d10 kinetic damage. Hit or miss, the shard then explodes. The target and each creature within 5 feet of it must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take 2d6 cold damage.

Overcharge Tech. When you cast this power using a tech slot of 2nd level or higher, the cold damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 1st.
