Tendrils

At level 1 you gain the power of invisible arms called tendrils that are able to interact with the material world. These tendrils have the ability to slash, pierce, and pick up creatures and objects as an action, using Intelligence as your attack modifier.
Tendrils have the attack characteristics of a very sharp blade. When slashing or piercing, each vector does 1D10+Int slashing or piercing damage. The range of your tendrils is specified on the leveling chart
Tendrils have the ability to pick up and throw objects up to a range of 30 feet. Targets must make dex saves against your spellcasting DC. Additional tendrils can use their actions to increase the size of object thrown, increasing area of effect and damage

1 Tendril - Medium (1x1) 1d8 bludgeoning

2 Tendrils - Large (2x2) 2d8 bludgeoning

3 Tendrils - Huge (3x3) 3d8 bludgeoning

4 Tendrils - Gargantuan (4x4) 4d8 bludgeoning

Grappled creatures can be picked up and moved up to 30 feet in any direction up to the limit of the range of the tendrils. Creatures can be thrown, and are treated as objects of their size per the thrown objects section of your tendril's ability if thrown at another creature. The thrown creature will automatically fail the save and take the amount of damage detailed in the chart for their size.
After being thrown, the creature is no longer grappled
