Damage/Effect
Piercing
A grasping silver chain with razor-edged barbs, streaks toward the creature. Make a ranged spell attack against the target. On a hit, the target takes 1d10 piercing damage. The creature must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be restrained by the ensnaring chain until the spell ends.
A creature restrained by the chain can use its action to make a Strength check against your spell save DC. On a success, it frees itself, shattering the conjured chain and ending the spell.
The chain's damage increases by 1d10 when you reach 5th level (2d10), 11th level (3d10), and 17th level (4d10).
Special: You may apply to ensnaring chain any enhancement or option that would apply to eldritch blast.

Posted Aug 26, 2020Great cantrip - have used a reskinned "Thorn Whip" from the Pact of the Tome for a similar effect. I have got a few suggestions:
For an attack with a chain, a melee spell attack would make more sense than a ranged one and the spell base range seems to be a bit too far.
I would also suggest to include an option to deal damage on consecutive rounds by spending an action or causng damage if the target tries to break the restraint and fails.
Another note: it would be helpful, to explain, if the Eldrich Blast invocation effects (pushing or pulling the target for example) take effect every round the spell is not broken, or just during the initial round.
