You call forth the fury of living growth, and the air itself twists into a violent bloom of thorns and whipping vines. A 20-foot-radius sphere of spiraling vegetation erupts from a point you choose within range, its winds choked with razor-edged briars, splintered bark, and stinging thorns. The vortex endures for the spell’s duration, grinding and tearing at anything caught within.
Each creature in the sphere when it manifests, or that ends its turn there, must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or be flayed by slicing thorns, taking 2d6 piercing damage. The tangled mass of roots, vines, and debris renders the area difficult terrain, as the ground buckles and growth claws upward.
Until the spell ends, you can use a bonus action on each of your turns to command the vortex to expel a concentrated surge of corrosive life. A lance of caustic pollen, sap, and dissolving plant matter lashes out from the sphere’s heart toward one creature you choose within 60 feet of its center. Make a ranged spell attack, gaining advantage if the target is within the vortex. On a hit, the target suffers 4d6 acid damage.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the damage increases for each of its effects by 1d6 for each slot level above 4th.
