The ground in a 20-foot-radius circle you choose within range turns to loose sand. Each creature in the area when the spell is cast, and each creature that enters it, makes a Dexterity saving throw or sinks to the chest and is Restrained. At the start of each of its turns a Restrained creature sinks further and must hold its breath or begin Suffocating. A creature can use its action to make a Strength (Athletics) check against your spell save DC to pull free or to pull an adjacent creature free. The spell fails on stone or metal floor.
