Tweaked from 5eYou already know this as 5e Freezing Sphere — It's basically a beefed-up Freezing Sphere—the same 60-foot-radius cold explosion with a Con save for half—but bumped to a higher level and adding a carbonite 'restrained' lockdown (Strength check to break free) plus an instant-death shatter on creatures dropped to 0 HP. ✨
Detonate a 60-foot-radius cold burst for 8d6+20; failures are restrained in carbonite for 1 minute, and 0-hp creatures shatter and die.

!Restrained creatures can attempt a Strength check each action to break free, so restraint is not guaranteed to last.

You generate an explosion of cryogenic energy in a 60-foot-radius sphere centered on a point you can see
within range. Each creature in the affected area must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes 8d6 + 20 cold damage and is restrained for 1 minute as it is encased in carbonite. On a successful save, the creature takes half damage and is restrained until the end of its next turn.
As an action, a restrained creature can make a Strength check against your tech save DC, ending this effect on itself on a success.
A creature reduced to 0 hit points by this power dies instantly, as its body shatters into frozen chunks.
