You create a disturbance in spacetime, causing the fabric of the universe to collapse in pockets around you. Choose up to four 5 foot cubes that you can see within range.

Time becomes stagnant in these spaces, causing any objects completely contained in them to be immobilized.

Any objects or creatures that enter any of these spaces completely are similarly frozen in time. For example, if a standard arrow was shot through one of the spaces, it would cease motion upon entering and would therefore be unable to hit its target. Creatures frozen in this way are paralyzed, unaware of their surroundings, and cannot be targeted by attacks or other spells.

Each frozen creature must make a Constitution saving throw at the end of each of their turns. On a success, they take 2d12 force damage and are shunted out of the frozen space into the nearest unoccupied non-frozen space of their choice. On a failure, they slip through a pocket in spacetime and are teleported to a different, random frozen space created by this casting of this spell and remain frozen.

At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 7th level or higher, you can create two additional pockets and the damage increases by 2d12 for each slot above 6th.
