Level 4 Conjuration (Druid, Ranger, Sorcerer)

Casting Time: Action Bonus Action

Range: 120 feet

Component: S

Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

You stretch out your hand, causing tendrils of water to erupt from the earth at a point within range. Each target of your choice within a 20-foot wide, 50-foot tall cylinder centered on that point must make a Strength Saving Throw. A creature who succeeds on the save is ejected to the nearest empty space outside of the cylinder. On a failed save, a creature is restrained and held aloft by the tendrils of water.

The maximum number of targets you can restrain with your water tendrils is equal to your spellcasting ability modifier. A Medium or smaller creature counts as one target, a Large creature counts as two, a Huge creature counts as three, and a Gargantuan creature counts as five.

A restrained target repeats the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself with a success.

Using a Higher-Level Spell Slot. You can restrain one additional target for each spell slot level above 4.
