Binding Lines

You conjure spectral magical lines that violently lash toward a creature you can see within range. The target must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or become bound to a solid surface within 10 feet of it, such as a floor, wall, pillar, or ceiling, chosen by you.

While bound in this way, the creature is restrained and cannot willingly move away from the surface. If the creature is bound to a wall or ceiling, it remains suspended there by the magical lines.

At the start of each of its turns, the target takes [roll]2d6[/roll] bludgeoning damage as the lines tighten around its body.

A restrained creature can use its action to make a Strength (Athletics) check against your spell save DC, ending the effect on itself on a success. If the target is bound to a ceiling and the spell ends, the creature falls unless it can otherwise remain aloft.

Creatures that are Huge or larger make the initial saving throw with advantage.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3th level or higher, the bludgeoning damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 2th.
