Also, this would take up a mage's action to pull off, which they could have used for a more effective cantrip, potentially. As for Arcane Tricksters, I'm not sure how to balance that off the top of my head. | |

I might house-rule that this activity grants disadvantage to the affected enemy: if you're trying to take a shot/cast a spell/etc and focus on your target, dodging an uncoordinated (in the sense that it's not actively pacing to follow your head movements) obstacle like that isn't difficult, but is mildly distracting. Hah, ninja'd by @MageXy ! (for some reason the comment didn't show, and it didn't do the usual "show 1 more comment" thing) | |

However, I would rule that the enemy can simply move around the hand since it can't clasp onto their face. It acts as a minor distraction at best. | |
