Description: This spell enables you to make a snare that functions as a magic trap. The snare can be made from any supple vine, a thong, or a rope. When you cast snare upon it, the cordlike object blends with its surroundings requiring an investigation or traps check against your spell DC to locate. The trap triggers when a creature (size Small to Large) steps within the circle. The creatures must make a Dexterity save or be hoisted upward, leaving it hanging upside down three feet off the ground. The creature is grappled until it manages to escape, which it can do with a successful Athletics check. The trapped creature may attempt such a check each round until successful. A creature within reach of the snare may also assist in the escape, providing a +2 bonus to the trapped creature's grapple checks. The spell ends once the victim escapes, 8 hours passes, or it is successfully disabled with a Traps check.
