Chilling Tentacles

Invocation Grade: Greater

Equivalent Spell Level: 5th

This invocation allows you to conjure forth a field of soul-chilling black tentacles that ooze from the ground, groping for victims. This invocation functions identically to the black tentacles spell, except that each creature within the area of the invocation takes 2d6 points of cold damage each round. Creatures in the area take this cold damage whether or not they are grappled by the tentacles.
