When you cast this spell, sharp metallic blades sprout from your body and all your gear. You are proficient with the blades as light melee weapons that inflict 1d6 + your Strength modifier piercing damage. You can choose to attack with the blades using an attack action, and can even attack with one using each hand (following all normal rules for wielding a light weapon in each hand).

In addition, for the duration, you can deal damage when successfully grappling a creature. Whenever you have a creature grappled at the end of your turn, that creature takes piercing damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier.

Finally, you have advantage on all ability checks or saving throws made to escape a grapple, and whenever a creature tries to grapple you, it takes piercing damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier, whether they succeed or fail in their grapple attempt.
