Chilling Chains
6th-level evocation (Cleric, Wizard)
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 60 feet
- Components: V, S
- Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
You cause translucent chains of solid magical force to appear and wrap around a Large or smaller creature you can see. The creature must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is restrained for the duration. When the creature starts a turn, it can choose to make a Strength saving throw or Dexterity saving throw in an attempt to slip out of or loosen the chains. If the creature chooses to make a saving throw, the chains glow white and the creature takes 4d6 cold damage.
After making two successful saves against this spell while restrained, the spell ends. You can use an action on your turn to reinforce the chains if the creature is within 30 feet of you, applying disadvantage on the creature’s next saving throw. If the creature takes damage from an attack or area effect originating from a source other than the creature itself, the spell ends.
The chains are immune to all damage and shed bright light out to 5 feet, and dim light for an additional 5 feet.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 9th level, you can use the spell on a Huge creature.
