You create a throne of tough, pliable, tangled brush bristling with needle-sharp thorns. The throne extends thorned branches in an attempt to ensnare the target. The ensnaring branches have a range of 10 feet. The thorn throne appears within range behind the target.
When the throne appears and attempts to ensnare the target the creature must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 7d8 piercing damage and is ensnared and bound to the throne of thorns, half as much damage on a successful save and is not bound. The spell lasts for 3 turns, on each successive turn the creature must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a saving through the creature escapes its bonds and takes 3d8 damage in the process. On a failed save the creature remains bound and take half 7d8 damage. After the 3rd turn if the throne of thorns withers up and dies, leaving a pile of dust where it stood.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 7th level or higher, both types of damage increase by 1d8 for each slot level above 6th.
