Slashing
Choose a source of water that you can see within range that has a volume of at least 4 pints. Make a melee spell attack against a creature within 30 feet of the source of water. On a hit, the target takes 1d6 slashing damage and, if the creature is Large or smaller, you can force it to make a Strength saving throw, pulling it up to 10 feet towards the source of water on a failure.
The spell’s damage increases by 1d6 and the distance it can pull a target increases by 5 feet when you reach 5th level (2d6 and 15 feet), 11th level (3d6 and 20 feet), and 17th level (4d6 and 25 feet).

Posted Jan 17, 2026When compared to thorn whip, this spell comes up short mechanically. It adds the requirements of a source of water (circumstantial) AND a strength saving throw (chance to avoid) for the advantage of not having the pull be toward the caster. I suggest removing the saving throw to make it more competitive, but that source of water within 60 feet still makes this conditionally less attractive than the thorn whip.
