Damage/Effect
You strike the ground in front of you, causing the ground in a 20-foot square originating from you to suddenly freeze. Each creature in the square must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 8d6 cold damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. A Large or smaller creature that fails the saving throw is also restrained for 1 minute.
A restrained creature can use its action to make a Strength check against your Spell Save DC. On a success, it breaks free from the ice.
The spell's area is also turned into difficult terrain until the end of your next turn.
