Tehom

5th-level conjuration

"Now you are swallowed up by the seas, in the depths of the waters,"
Ezekiel 27:34

Casting Time: Magic action

Range: 60 feet

Components: V, S, M (a vial of water taken from any body of water)

Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

A swirling whirlpool of 5-foot-deep water appears in a 30-foot radius centered on a point you can see within range. The point must be on the ground or in a body of water. Until the spell ends, that area is difficult terrain, and any creature that enters it for the first time on its turn or starts its turn there must make a Strength saving throw. A creature takes 4d8 bludgeoning damage and is pulled 15 feet toward the center on a failure. A creature that succeeds its saving throw takes half as much damage and is not pulled.

If a creature begins its turn at the center of the whirlpool and fails its saving throw, it immediately disappears and is magically teleported to a distant body of water, in the exact spot from which you drew the vial of water used as the material component of the spell. The target remains there until the spell ends, at which point the target reappears in the nearest unoccupied space to the one it left.

If you maintain concentration on this spell for the full duration, vanished creatures do not return.
