Curse of the Mistwood

Incantation: "May your soul be overgrown with moss and your spirit entwined with ancient roots, never to escape the pull of the earth. May your veins fill with rainwater, heavy and cold, and your heart pulse with the rhythm of storms. May your lungs overflow with wildflowers, choking with petals, and your breath carry the scent of decaying forests. May the weight of the wilds consume you, and may you be forgotten by the sun."

Description: With ancient druidic power, you curse the target with the relentless forces of nature. As the curse takes hold, vines and moss grow over their body, rainwater chills their veins, and choking wildflowers hinder their every move.

Effects:
Choose one creature within range that you can see. The target must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, they suffer the following:

1. Overgrown with Moss: The target’s movement is halved, and they cannot take reactions as moss and roots entangle their body.

2. Rainwater Veins: The target takes 2d6 cold damage at the start of each of their turns as the cold weight of rainwater floods their veins.

3. Choking Wildflowers: The target has disadvantage on attack rolls and concentration checks as wildflowers bloom in their lungs, making it difficult to breathe.

If the target succeeds on their Constitution saving throw, they are still affected by the curse but can mitigate its effects. They suffer only half the cold damage (1d6) and do not suffer from the Choking Wildflowers effect but still have their movement halved and cannot take reactions.

The target can attempt to end the curse early by making a Constitution saving throw at the end of each of their turns. On a success, the curse ends.

At Higher Levels:
When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the cold damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 4th. Additionally, the following additional effects are added depending on the spell level used:
