Trogdor's Creeping Vines

Huge creeping vines are created that can do some serous damage!

2nd level spell, concentration. Components: V, S, and M (a small piece of creeping vine)

Choose one:

1st option: A mass of vines are created at a point within 60’ of the caster that the caster can see. Make a ranger attack roll on a target the caster can see within 10’ of that point. On a hit the vines strike out for 2d8 bludgeoning damage. The vines then whither and disappear. When cast at higher levels, the mass of vines increases dealing an additional 1d8 bludgeoning damage for each level above 2nd.

2nd option: Range and attack rolls are the same as above. However, the caster may choose instead of dealing damage to have the vines attempt to grapple and restrain the target. The target must be a creature size Large or smaller. On hit the target must make an Athletics or Acrobatics check vs your spell casting DC. On a fail the vines wrap around the target and the target is Restrained. The target may repeat the check at the beginning of its next turn. The target is Restrained until a successful check or until the caster drops their concentration. When cast at higher levels, the amount of vines increases by 1 for each other level above 4th.
