You conjure forth a crystalline bolt and fire it forth at a creature that you can see within range. Make a ranged spell attack against the target. On a hit, it takes 2d10 piercing damage and become tethered to you by a magical blue light. Whilst tethered, the creature takes 3d8 psychic damage at the start of each of its subsequent turns, and expends an additional 5 feet of movement, for every 5 feet it moves away from you.   At the end of each of the target’s turns, it can make an Intelligence saving throw, on a successful save, it breaks the tether, and the spell ends. The spell also ends if the target ends its turn more than 60 feet away from you.
At higher levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th-level or higher, the psychic damage dealt by the tether increases by 1d8 per spell slot level above 5th.
