| Description | |||
| The ground within 30 feet of the point you designate
turns into filthy and slippery muck, so that those
in the area sink down to a watery death. This spell
affects sand, earth, mud, or ice, but not stone, wood,
or other material. For the duration, the ground in the
affected area is difficult terrain. A creature in the area
when you cast the spell must succeed on a Strength
saving throw or be restrained by the mud until the
spell ends. A restrained creature can free itself by
using an action to make a successful Strength saving
throw. Creatures that free themselves or that enter
the area after the spell was cast are affected by the
difficult terrain but don't become restrained. Each round, a restrained creature sinks deeper into the muck. A Medium or smaller creature that is restrained for 3 rounds becomes completely submerged at the end of its third turn. A Large creature becomes submerged after 4 rounds. Submerged creatures begin suffocating if they aren't holding their breath. Creatures that are still submerged when the spell expires are sealed beneath the newly-solid ground. At that point, they can escape only if someone else digs them out or they have a burrowing speed. |
