Dark Briars

You summon a spiraling vortex of bloody briar vines to surround you. Choose a number of creatures (up to your spellcasting ability modifier) within 10ft of you, those creatures must make Dexterity saving throws. On a failed save, they take 2d8 piercing damage, and become poisoned until the end of your next turn. On a successful save, they take half the initial piercing damage, but suffer no other effects.

At Higher Levels. This spell’s damage increases by 1d8 for each level above 2nd.
