Chains of Beleth

Barbed chains ending in meat hooks burst from the ground from a point you can see within range, flailing in a 20-foot-radius Sphere [Area of Effect] centered on that point.

Each creature in the area makes a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, it takes 8d6 Piercing damage and has the Restrained condition until the spell ends.

The first time a creature enters the chain's area on a turn or starts its turn there, it must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or have the Restrained condition while in the area or until it breaks free. A creature Restrained by the chains can take an action to make a Strength (Athletics) check against your spell save DC. If it succeeds, it is no longer Restrained.

When a creature Restrained by this spell ends its turn, the creature takes 3d6 Bludgeoning damage.
