Chain forest

Thrust your hands into the ground causing spectral chains to erupt in a 10 foot circle under an enemy you can see. You can choose to have the chains slam into any creature caught in them or you can choose to have them bind the creatures.
If you choose to have the chains slam into the creatures it is 2D8 bludgeoning damage+ spell casting modifier.
If you choose to have the chains bind enemies they must make a strength save vs your spell casting modifier.

At higher levels you add 1 extra D8 for bludgeoning damage when the chains attack enemies.
The chains act as difficult terrain for creatures caught in them
