Does the Spirit Guardians spell trigger its saving throw if you, as the caster, close the 15-ft. gap?
Or only when the enemy uses its movement to come into the spell's radius? Spirit Guardians says:

when the creature enters the area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, it must make a Wisdom saving throw.

For instance, say I'm 30 feet away, and I use 15 feet of movement to bring myself within range of the monster to put it within the spell's range.
Does that initiate the "when the creature enters the area for the first time on a turn" trigger for the spell's saving throw?
Or would the creature have to close that gap itself?

    \$\begingroup\$ @V2Blast The language of moonbeam is exactly the same. It is a duplicate of that question. \$\endgroup\$ Apr 28, 2021 at 9:02
