When you use this spell, you summon roots from the ground in an unoccupied space at a location you can see within range. When you cast this spell, you can choose a direction for the roots to spread toward a creature you can see that is within 30 feet of the roots; that target must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failure, it becomes Restrained by the roots until the end of the spell’s duration, and it can make a Strength saving throw to break free of this condition on a success. Another creature can try to free a Restrained target by using its action and succeeding on a Strength saving throw.
While this spell is active, you can use your bonus action to make the roots release a Restrained target and move toward a new creature.
The spell ends prematurely if the roots are destroyed. They have AC 10 and 35 hit points, and are vulnerable to fire damage.
