Damage/Effect
Piercing
Swarming locusts fill a 20-foot-radius Sphere centered on a point you choose within range. The Sphere remains for the duration, and its area is Lightly Obscured and Difficult Terrain.
When the swarm appears, each creature in it makes a Constitution saving throw, taking 4d10 Piercing damage on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one. A creature also makes this save when it enters the spell’s area for the first time on a turn or ends its turn there. A creature makes this save only once per turn.
Using a Higher-Level Spell Slot. The damage increases by 1d10 for each spell slot level above 5.
* - (a locust)
this spell should be a bit stronger. also I think it should be slightly harder for casters to get other than the druid and nature cleric.
only one subclass of druid gets fireball and yet everyone and their cousin gets insect plaque .Doesn't seem fair that spell restriction mostly gatekeeps druid.
