Toothed Tentacle

This spell creates a shadowy tentacle of energy that extends 30 feet from your hand, splitting off into three smaller tentacles about 10 feet from its end. Each of these smaller tentacles ends in a fanged, slavering maw.

All three of these mouths can be directed to attack as an action, or one of them can
attack as a bonus action. You can direct the mouths to attack separate targets as long as all targets are within 10 feet of each other. Each mouth strikes using your spellcasting modifier, and each deals 2d6 plus your spellcasting modifier piercing damage.

Because the mouths are tangible, they can be destroyed. Each has an AC of 12 and hit points equal to 10 + your level. If a mouth is destroyed, it fades away into nothingness, but the other mouths remain. If all the mouths are destroyed, the spell’s duration ends. The main tentacle cannot be attacked.

 Using a Higher-Level Spell Slot. You create one additional tentacle for each spell slot level above 3.
