Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material
Materials: tree bark and snake scales
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
You transform a non-magical stick or staff that is not being held or worn into a Poisonous Snake, a Giant Poisonous Snake or a Constrictor Snake.
The snake is friendly to you and your companions. On your turn as a bonus action you may issue simple commands. If you don't issue any commands, it will try to escape from Hostile creatures, but otherwise take no Actions. The DM has the snakes' Statistics.
Alternatively, you can use this spell to transform snakes into sticks. Each snake beast in a 5' radius must make a Constitution save or be turned into a stick for the duration of the spell.
At higher levels: You may cast this spell using higher level Spell Slots. You can create eight snakes with a 3rd-level slot, and an additional four snakes for each slot level above 3rd. You may choose to create eight fewer snakes to create a Swarm of Poisonous Snakes or a Giant Constrictor Snake instead.
