# Snare *1st-level, Abjuration* - **Casting time:** 1 minute - **Range:** Touch - **Components:** S, M (25 feet of rope, which the spell consumes) - **Duration:** 8 hours As you cast this spell, you use the rope to create a circle with a 5-foot radius on the ground or the floor. When you finish casting, the rope disappears and the circle becomes a magic trap. This trap is nearly invisible, requiring a successful Intelligence ([Investigation](/3-Mechanics/CLI/skills.md#Investigation)) check against your spell save DC to be discerned. The trap triggers when a Small, Medium, or Large creature moves onto the ground or the floor in the spell's radius. That creature must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or be magically hoisted into the air, leaving it hanging upside down 3 feet above the ground or the floor. The creature is [restrained](/3-Mechanics/CLI/conditions.md#Restrained) there until the spell ends. A [restrained](/3-Mechanics/CLI/conditions.md#Restrained) creature can make a Dexterity saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. Alternatively, the creature or someone else who can reach it can use an action to make an Intelligence ([Arcana](/3-Mechanics/CLI/skills.md#Arcana)) check against your spell save DC. On a success, the [restrained](/3-Mechanics/CLI/conditions.md#Restrained) effect ends. After the trap is triggered, the spell ends when no creature is [restrained](/3-Mechanics/CLI/conditions.md#Restrained) by it. **Classes**: [Artificer](/3-Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-artificer.md); [Bard (College of Lore)](/3-Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-college-of-lore-xphb.md "subclass=XPHB;class=XPHB"); [Bard](/3-Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-bard.md); [Druid](/3-Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-druid.md); [Fighter (Eldritch Knight)](/3-Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-eldritch-knight-xphb.md "subclass=XPHB;class=XPHB"); [Ranger](/3-Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-ranger.md); [Rogue (Arcane Trickster)](/3-Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-arcane-trickster-xphb.md "subclass=XPHB;class=XPHB"); [Wizard (Abjurer)](/3-Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-abjurer-xphb.md "subclass=XPHB;class=XPHB"); [Wizard](/3-Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-wizard.md) *Source: Xanathar's Guide to Everything p. 165*
