D&D 5E Watery Sphere (Elemental Evil Companion)

[Paraxis]

It does seem like a great spell to have for the police or bounty hunters, pick them up place them in a wagon with a cage on it, shut the the door. For those creature that are not easily charmed or put to sleep or any other number of ways you can subdue people with magic.

We should make a list of spells good for taking people alive.

It could potentially be an interesting combo with a Cone of Cold spell, depending on how your DM rules. Big frozen sphere of water with enemies trapped inside? Wheeeeeeee!!!!

Heck. You could even Subtle the Cone of Cold in order to not kill the perp.

"Freeze dirtbag!"

Since this is one of the top google results for this spell I want to chirp in several years late:

Don't underestimate this spell. It has the same utility as a wall. Removing multiple enemies from combat for several rounds is very strong. If you can fight half of the enemies in a group now and half of them after you've dispatched the first group, a tough fight gets a lot easier. Team up with the druid and drop Silence over the sphere and roll up an enemy caster with their save.

This spell is good. It's worth taking as a Sorcerer even.

I assume you mean Sculpt, unless there is a benefit to not needing verbal or somatic component that I'm not seeing?
