You point a finger at a creature you can see within range and speak a divine sentence. Golden, ethereal chains erupt from the ground to bind the target. The target must make a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, the target is restrained for the duration. At the start of each of its turns while restrained, the creature takes 3d6 radiant damage as the chains sear their flesh. On a success, the target’s speed is halved until the start of your next turn, and the spell ends.
A creature restrained by these chains can use its action to make a Strength (Athletics) check against your spell save DC. On a success, it frees itself and the spell ends.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 3rd.
