Why can't I twin spell Eldritch Blast?

You can't twin spell Eldritch Blast at higher levels (level 5+) because the spell gains multiple beams, allowing it to target more than one creature, which violates the Twinned Spell Metamagic requirement that the spell "can't target more than one creature" at its current level. Before level 5, it works because it only has one beam and is single-target, but once it scales up, it's ineligible for twinning, though you can still use other Metamagic like Quickened Spell.
