---

You stretch out your hand and a long strand of wet kelp streaks out to envelop your foe and bring the creature to your grasp. Make a ranged spell attack against the target. On a hit, the target takes 2d10 bludgeoning damage, and you can pull it up to 30 feet closer to you. If the target ends this movement within 5 feet of you, the target is grappled by you, just as if you had made a successful grapple attack against it.

A creature you grapple with this spell can use its action to escape. To do so, it must succeed on a Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check against your spellcasting DC.

When you move, you can drag or carry the grappled creature at half your speed. You can move at your full speed if the creature is at least two sizes smaller than you.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the bludgeoning damage increases by ld10 for each slot level above 2nd.
