Bind with Water

4th-level Conjuration

"Moses stretched out his hand and the water covered Pharaoh's army, and not even one escaped."
Exodus 14:28

Casting Time: Magic action

Range: 120 feet

Components: S

Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

You stretch out your hand, causing tendrils of water to erupt from the earth at a point within range. Any creatures within a 20-foot wide, 50-foot tall cylinder centered on that point must make a Strength saving throw. A creature who succeeds on the save is ejected to the nearest empty space outside of the cylinder. On a failed save, a creature is restrained and held aloft by the tendrils of water. The cylinder can restrain up to 8 "points" worth of creatures. The number of "points" it takes to restrain a creature is determined by its size, shown in the chart below.

Size	Cost
Tiny or Small	1 point
Medium	2 points
Large	4 points
Huge	8 points
Gargantuan	16 points

At the end of each of its turns, a restrained target can repeat the saving throw, ending the effect on itself on a success.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the cylinder can restrain two additional "points" worth of creatures for each slot level above 4th.
