A beam of pale blue light forming a line 30 feet long and 5 feet wide flashes out from your outstretched hand in a direction you choose. Each creature in the line must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 2d8 cold damage, and until the beginning of your next turn its speed is halved and it can't take reactions. On a successful save, a creature takes half as much damage and does not suffer the other effects.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 1st.
