Hungry Fissure

Tier 1 Epic transmutation

Casting Time: 1 action

Range: Self (100-foot line)

Components: V, S, M (a fossilized dragon claw)

Duration: Instantaneous

A great fissure 100 feet long, 30 feet wide, and 50 feet deep opens along the ground, starting in front of you and extending in a direction of your choice. A creature standing in the effect’s area can use its reaction to attempt a Dexterity saving throw to move safely to the edge of the fissure as it opens. On a failure or if the creature is unable to take a reaction, a creature large enough to fit inside the fissure falls to the bottom. If the fissure opens beneath a structure, the structure automatically collapses. At the end of your turn, the fissure slams shut, trapping creatures within underground. A creature so trapped cannot move and is restrained unless it has a burrowing speed. A trapped creature can take an action to attempt a Strength (Athletics) ability check versus your spell save DC.
