Choose a point you can see on the ground within range. Jagged stakes rise from the ground momentarily in a 45-foot cube centered on that point. Each creature in that area must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 2d8 piercing damage and 2d8 slashing damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, both types of damage increase by 1d8 for each slot level above 2nd and the range increases by 15 feet
