Lesser shadow tentacle

Lesser shadow tentacle was arcane, abjuration spell that summoned a giant, rope-like tentacle made existing shadows that fell upon an area.

Effects
The spell would animate shadows from an existing anchor point and extend out, up to 50' (15.2m) and ensnare a target. The shadows would hold a creature down, preventing it from moving away, or if so desired, slowing it considerably. The affected creature could free itself from the shadow's hold with some considerable effort or great strength.

The shadow tentacles were not affected by natural or magical light.
