As an action, make a ranged spell attack. On hit, a large, skeletal hand made of radiant hard-light emerges, grasping the target and creating a cage of radiant flames, dealing 2d8+ your spellcasting modifier. The hand has a hold of the target creature until the start of your next turn. While it is being held, it has disadvantage on attack rolls against you and cannot move. If another enemy creature is within 5 feet of the target, they must make a dexterity saving throw. If they fail, they take half of the damage that the target takes.

At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 1st.
