2-level Transmutation
Casting Time: 1 Action
Range/Area: self (30ft)
Components: V,S,M
Materials: (a tiny porcelain hand)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Attack/Save: strength
Damage/Effect: bludgeoning
You sculpt loose soil and rock into a massive hand, creating a Medium hand that occupies a 5-foot space within range. It can immediately reach for a Large or smaller creature within
5 feet, forcing the target to make a Strength saving throw or become restrained and suffer 2d6 bludgeoning damage.
As long as the hand is within 30 feet of you, you can give it mental commands. As an action, you can cause the hand to crush a restrained target. The target makes a Strength saving
throw, taking 2d6 bludgeoning damage on a failure, or half as much on a success. Alternately as an action, you can dissolve and reform it anywhere within the spell's range and attempt to grab a creature within 5 feet. You can order the hand to let go of a creature at any time with no action. To break out, a restrained target can use its action to attempt a Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check against your spell save DC. On a success, it is free and no longer restrained.
Available for: Sorcerer, Wizard
