Level 1 Conjuration (Druid, Sorcerer, Wizard)
Casting Time: 1 Action
Range: Self (15 foot square)
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, 1 Minute
Your finger glows with a cold blue-white light, and as you touch the ground a thin sheet of ice expands out from you covering the ground in a 15 foot cube. The ground in the area is covered with slick ice, making it difficult terrain. When a creature enters the spell's area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, it must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, it falls prone.
If you touch a body of water or a liquid that is principally water (not including water-based creatures), it freezes the liquid to a depth of 3 inches over the area. Creatures that were swimming on the surface of frozen water are trapped in the ice. A trapped creature can use an action to make a Strength check against your spell save DC to break free. One creature at a time can walk on the ice, but if it’s not attached to a solid surface it can easily flip them into the water.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the area increases by 5 feet for each slot level above 1st.
