> **Casting Time:** Action > **Range:** Touch > **Components:** V, S > **Duration:** [[Concentration]], up to 10 minutes **DEX Saving Throw.** You touch the ground under you and 20-foot-tall treelike bones sprout from the ground in a 30-foot-radius [[Sphere]] centered on you. Each creature of your choice in the [[Sphere]] makes a DEX saving throw, taking 4d8 Piercing damage on a failure, or half as much damage on a success. **Area Change.** For the duration, the area becomes [[Difficult Terrain]], and when a creature moves into or within the area, it takes 2d8 Piercing damage for every 5 feet it travels; you are Immune to this effect. The forest of dread provides [[Cover|Half Cover]] to any creatures inside the area. The bones disintegrate when the spell ends. **Classes:** #Sorcerer, #Warlock, #Wizard
