4th-level Evocation
Casting time:	1 action

Components:	V, S
Duration:	Instantaneous

Freezing energy emanates from you, forming a line of icy spikes that project upward from the ground in a 60-foot line that is 5 feet wide and 10 feet high. Each creature caught in the line must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failure, a creature takes 3d8 piercing damage and 5d6 cold damage and becomes restrained as it is frozen in place by the ice. On a success, the creature moves 5 feet to a nearby unoccupied space outside of the spell's area. A frozen creature may attempt a Strength saving throw at the end of each of its turns, breaking free of the ice and ending the restrained condition on itself on a success.

The icy spikes created by this spell form a physical barrier. A 5-foot section of ice has an AC of 10 and can be destroyed by dealing 10 or more damage to it in the span of a single round. The ice is vulnerable to fire damage and immune to poison and psychic damage. The area within 5 feet of the icy spikes is considered difficult terrain. The ice created by this spell lasts 10 minutes before melting (half as long in a hot enviroment, indefinitely in a cold environment).
