If the result of the check is higher than your spell save DC they are able to clear the bleed normally, however for every point below the creature suffers an additional stack of bleed.
 
Cypher
Everywhere and Nowhere. Whenever a hostile creature triggers a rune, glyph or ward you set, you can make an arcana check (DC = CR of triggering creature) with a success telling you the creatures type and subtype, as well as whether it’s travelling alone or with a group. Additionally, you can use the Cypherwalking class feature as a reaction to avoid being hit with a melee attack.
Void

This effect stacks up to three times, and the duration is refreshed every time a new stack would be applied. As a bonus action, you can consume three stacks to force the creature to make a Strength saving throw against your spell save DC or be restrained for 1 minute as a large shadowy hand grips the creature. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns and has advantage if it is a Large creature or bigger.
