Vine Snare

A magical vine is conjured from the ground below a creature in range. The creature must be no more than 5 feet off of the ground to be a valid target for this spell. The target must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw, or take 1d6 bludgeoning damage. Additionally, if the target is Medium or smaller, the target is also grappled until the beginning of the target's next turn or until the target takes damage.

Alternatively, you may brandish a melee weapon as a material component and empower it with this spell's effects, changing the spell's range to the range of the melee weapon for the duration of the spell. Make a melee weapon attack. On a hit, the target suffers the weapon attack’s normal effects, and then also suffers the original effect of the spell.

This spell’s damage increases by 1d6 when you reach 5th level (2d6), 11th level (3d6), and 17th level (4d6). At 11th level, the maximum size the grapple can affect increases to Large.
