One creature that you can see within range must succeed on a Charisma saving throw or be transported to a harmless demiplane for the duration. While there, the target has the Incapacitated condition. When the spell ends, the target reappears in the space it left or in the nearest unoccupied space if that space is occupied.
If the target is an Aberration, a Celestial, an Elemental, a Fey, or a Fiend, the target doesn’t return if the spell lasts for 1 minute. The target is instead transported to a random location on a plane (DM’s choice) associated with its creature type.
Using a Higher-Level Spell Slot. You can target one additional creature for each spell slot level above 4.

Posted Sep 7, 2024It’s like someone forgot that they released Planescape last year. I understand that this is a simplified wording for the spell, but its as thought the developer thought DMs couldn’t figure out if a creature is native or not.

Posted Sep 8, 2024Prettty wild that they wanted to nerf this in the playtest, but in the final book, it got buffed.

Posted Sep 8, 2024That is not a buff, its not a hard nerf, 30 ft feels like they just wanted to say they did something, but undead creatures native to the shadowfell for example are now unaffected but its big effect. Pending DM's decision of course but in that case what is the point of changing anything with the spell at all.

Posted Sep 19, 2024I think it’s actually nice to set it to a creature type for the sake of clarity. It prevents any friction between the player and DM’s interpretation of a “native”.
