Ethereal Hang

You choose a creature within range, who has a head and who needs to breathe to survive, that is also within line of sight. An ethereal rope appears around its neck and starts to choke it as if the creature were hanged.

The creature must succeed on a Strength saving throw or take 1d8 magical bludgeoning damage at the start of their turn and is grappled for the duration.

The creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a successful save.

If this spell reduces a creature's hit points to 0, it stays hanging in mid-air.

At higher levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, you can target one additional creature for each slot level above 2nd.
