Lashing Tendrils

1-level Transmutation

Casting Time: 1 action

Range/Area: Self

Components: V, S, M

You sprout grotesque, whipping tendrils which automatically attack nearby creatures. When a creature comes within 5 feet of you or begins its turn there, it must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 1d6 bludgeoning damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one.

At higher levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 1st, up to a maximum of 6d6.
