Damage/Effect
Piercing
Swarming, biting locusts fill a 20-foot-radius sphere centered on a point you choose within range. The sphere spreads around corners. The sphere remains for the duration, and its area is lightly obscured. The sphere's area is difficult terrain.
When the area appears, each creature in it must make a Constitution saving throw. A creature takes 4d10 piercing damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. A creature must also make this saving throw when it enters the spell's area for the first time on a turn or ends its turn there.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d10 for each slot level above 5th.

Posted Jul 6, 2019Anyone that has seen the old school mummy movie wants this spell to work the same way as in that movie......A Swam of locust to devour your enemies.
MAkes me feel like this is something a bbeg would find a way of maxing out and do a crazy amount of damage.

Posted Apr 14, 2021Does the piercing damage count as magical? It is caused by a magic spell.

Posted Aug 14, 2022Unless a spell specifically gives you the option to choose who it hits, like spirit guardians for example, yes. Players, enemies, and even animals who happen to be walking by are creatures. If you have stats or a stat block, generally you're a creature.
Allies walking through this will be hit by it.
Allies in it when you cast the spell will be hit by it.

Posted Feb 1, 2024Are the Locust conjured by this spell actual animals or are the a magical effect that takes the form of locust?
If its the fist one the animal shapes might work on it depending on whether the DM deems your conjured locust as âwillingâ.
if the second one then this idea is dead on arrival

Posted Feb 14, 2024Can we get a Warlock subclass with this spell because this with repelling blast would be TONS of fun.
