descr: "Oily black tentacles rise up and attempt to Grapple each creature in the area.\
  \ Make spell attack rolls against the Fortitude DC of each creature. Any creature\
  \ you succeed against is grabbed and takes 3d6 bludgeoning damage. Whenever a creature\
  \ ends its turn in the area, the tentacles attempt to grab that creature if they\
  \ haven't already, and they deal 1d6 bludgeoning damage to any creature already\
  \ grabbed. \n\nThe tentacles' Escape DC is equal to your spell DC. A creature can\
  \ attack a tentacle in an attempt to release its grip. Its AC is equal to your spell\
  \ DC, and it is destroyed if it takes 12 or more damage. Even if destroyed, additional\
  \ tentacles continue to grow in the area until the duration ends. You can Dismiss\
  \ the spell."
