At-will, std, ranged, circle 1/rank, concentration; glistening tentacles erupt from angles that shouldn't exist, filling the area. Creatures in the area when it appears, or entering it, are grappled (Str or Dex ends). Grappled creatures suffer medium bludgeoning damage on turn start as the tentacles crush and knead. The area is difficult terrain even for the ungrabbed.

Witnessing where the tentacles come from is inadvisable; creatures who study the geometry (e.g. via true seeing) must pass a Wis save or be dazed 1 round.
