You conjure crystalline growths that erupt from the ground or air and latch onto a creature you can see within range. The target must succeed on a Strength saving throw or become encased in rapidly spreading crystal. While affected, the target suffers the following effects:
-
Physical Vulnerability: The target takes 30% more damage from physical (bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing) sources. All physical damage they receive becomes piercing damage, regardless of the original damage type.
-
Magic Resistance: The crystal interferes with arcane flow, causing the target to take 35% less damage from magical sources.
-
Encroaching Growth: The crystal is alive and growing. The target’s movement speed is reduced to one-quarter of its base speed (rounded down, minimum 5 ft).
-
Break Free Attempt: The target can use its action to make a Strength saving throw against your spell save DC. On a success, the crystal shatters and the effect ends.
-
Crystal Shatter Trigger: If the target is hit by any physical attack, the crystal immediately shatters and the spell ends after that damage is applied with the enhanced/reduced effects.
The crystalline encroachment persists until it is broken (via damage or successful save), or the spell is dispelled.
