Web Tangle is an innate spell ability assigned to the Kitthix huge spider creature released/summoned by the Black Spider Figurine item.
Effects[]
The player selects Kitthix's special ability menu and selects the spell icon button (which has 2-"charges"/uses when first summoned onto the battlefield.
Once selected, place the targeting cursor onto any desired single creature to launch the web.
A rapid projectile launches to the targeted creature, and they are exposed to the spell effect - a Saving throw versus Spell with a 2-point penalty is allowed to resist it - a text will display <Target creature name>: Web Tangle.
If the save is failed, the following will occur:
- A web overlay graphic is rendered onto the target creature, and the Webbed status effect is applied.
- A Paralyze status effects is also applied, and the creature is Helpless.
- A sound effect is audibled.
- A player character will show an icon (No. 81) titled "Webbed" on their portrait.
The spell effect has a duration of 2-rounds (12 seconds).
Magic resistance can potentially block this web tangle, and any applicable Dispel Magic effect can remove it.
However, the spell has 0 Power level and belongs to no school of magic, so no Spell protections type defenses can stop it/turn it, and any creature can potentially be affected by it, such as a Lich, Rakshasa, Demogorgon, and Amelyssan for example.
Targets that are immune to the Paralyze and Webbed status effects won't be affected by this spell or made helpless.

Mods:[]
The Sword Coast Stratagems and Spell Revisions mods both make a number of adjustments to many spells in the game, including innate ones, as well as Web Tangle.
This spell will now require a Saving throw versus Breath instead of spell, the secondary type is changed to disabling instead of battleground, range is reduced to visual range of the caster, 30-feet, casting speed reduced from 2 to 1, and the entire webbing idea is now non-magical, so it is unaffected by magic resistance or dispelling.
If this spell affects a creature, it can elicit a hostile reaction, which it does not in the unmodded game.
