Erupting Vengence

By infusing the wrathful nature of blood vines with explosive power, you unleash a devastating spell that causes explosive eruptions from the blood vines.

Upon casting this spell, you summon blood vines to surge forth from the ground in a 20-foot radius centered on a point you choose within range. The area becomes difficult terrain, and any creature starting its turn within the area or moving into it for the first time on a turn must make a Dexterity saving throw.

The blood vines then explode, causing massive damage and spreading shrapnel throughout the area. Each creature that fails its saving throw takes 8d8 piercing damage and 8d6 fire damage, or half as much on a successful one. In addition, the explosion creates a shower of deadly shrapnel. Each creature in the area must make a Dexterity saving throw or take an additional 4d6 slashing damage from the flying debris.

Furthermore, any flammable objects within the area that aren't being worn or carried are ignited, potentially causing additional havoc.

When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 8th level or higher, the initial damage, the shrapnel damage, and the fire damage increase by 1d8 and 1d6, respectively, for each slot level above 7th.
