You conjure a vine that sprouts from a surface in an unoccupied space that you can see within range. The vine lasts for the duration. Make a melee spell attack against a creature within 30 feet of the vine. On a hit, the target takes 4d8 Bludgeoning damage and is pulled up to 30 feet toward the vine; if the target is Huge or smaller, it has the Grappled condition (escape DC equal to your spell save DC). The vine can grapple only one creature at a time, and you can cause the vine to release a Grappled creature (no action required).

As a Bonus Action on your later turns, you can repeat the attack against a creature within 30 feet of the vine.

Using a Higher-Level Spell Slot. The number of creatures the vine can grapple increases by one for each spell slot level above 4.

Grasping Vine 5.5e 2024 vs. 5e 2014 edition differences

The 2024 version increases range to 60 feet, replaces the saving throw with a melee spell attack, deals 4d8 bludgeoning damage, and grants the Grappled condition if the target is Huge or smaller. It also limits the vine to one grapple at a time and allows releasing a grappled creature without an action. The 2014 version only pulls a creature 20 feet on a failed Dexterity save.
