  • Casting Time: 1 bonus action
  • Range: 40 feet
  • Components: V, S
  • Duration: 1 minute

This spell creates four 10-foot cubes of swirling black mist, filled with grasping, shadowy tentacles. You can choose which spaces the cubes occupy within range, but at least 5 feet of each cube's outer edge must be within or adjacent to another cube. When you cast the spell, you choose whether the mists are stationary, or move away from you at a speed of 10 feet on each of your turns. The area within the mists is heavily obscured, even blocking darkvision beyond 5 feet. The area is lightly obscured within 5 feet for creatures with darkvision. Any creature that starts its turn within the mists must make a successful Wisdom saving throw, or be restrained by the shadowy tentacles. A restrained creature can try a new saving throw to escape at the end of each of its turns. The mists can be dispersed within 4 rounds by moderate winds, or within 1 round by a gust of wind spell.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, you can create an additional 10-foot cube of mists for each slot level above 5th.
