Spell Description
BludgeoningAs an action, you can cause the hand to crush the target, which must make a Strength saving throw. The target takes Bludgeoning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
To break out, the target can use its action to make a Strength check against your spell save DC. On a success, the target escapes and is no longer by the hand.
As an action, you can cause the hand to reach for a different creature or to move to a different unoccupied space within range. The hand releases a target if you do either.
