Forest of Dread

Steinhardt's Guide to the Eldritch Hunt

Forest of Dread

5-level Conjuration

Casting Time: 1 action

Range/Area: Self (30-foot radius)

Components: V, S

Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes

You touch the ground under you and 20-foot-tall treelike bones sprout from the ground in a 30-foot radius centered on you. Each creature of your choice in the radius must make a Dexterity saving throw, taking 4d8 piercing damage on a failure, or half as much damage a success.
For the duration, the area becomes difficult terrain, and when a creature moves into or within the area, it takes 2d8 piercing damage for every 5 feet it travels; you are immune to this effect. The forest of dread provides half cover to any creatures inside the area. The bones disintegrate when the spell ends.
