Bubble Rise

Bubble Rise

1st-level psionic transmutation
[Movement][Environmental][Utility][Psionic]
Casting Time: 1 reaction, which you take when one or more creature(s) within 60 feet of you begins to sink or fall underwater, or need to safely return to the surface when otherwise underwater.
Range: 60 feet
Components: V
Duration: 1-60 minutes depending on depth

You shape the flow of water and breath with a psionic whisper, conjuring translucent bubbles that envelop up to six willing creatures within range. Affected creatures are lifted gently toward the water's surface at a speed of 30 feet per round, moving vertically without effort. The bubbles are carefully regulated to counter decompression sickness (the bends), even from great depths.

While encased in these psionic bubbles:

• Creatures can breathe normally, regardless of depth or air supply.
• They are not considered grappled or restrained, and can act freely.
• They have advantage on any checks made to pull themselves onto a surface, boat, ship, or ledge once reaching the surface.
• The movement is buoyant and stable; affected creatures are not prone to jostling, flailing, or drowning.

If a creature exits the water before the duration ends, the bubble pops harmlessly and the effect ends early for that target.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level to 6th level, you may target six additional creature for each slot level above 1st.  When you cast it with a spell slot of 7th level or higher, you affect all creatures in need within one nautical mile.

Psionic Casting. You may cast this spell using PEDs or and APED count following normal psicasting rules.
