# Freedom of Movement > [!info] Spell Details > | | | > |---|---| > | **Level** | 4th | > | **School** | [[Abjuration]] | > | **Casting Time** | 1 Action | > | **Range** | Touch | > | **Components** | V, S, M *(a leather strap bound around the arm)* | > | **Duration** | 1 hour | > | **Classes** | Bard, Cleric, Druid, Ranger, Artificer | --- ## Description You touch a willing creature. For the duration, the target's movement is unaffected by **difficult terrain**, and spells and other magical effects can neither **reduce the target's speed** nor cause the target to be **paralyzed or restrained**. The target can also spend 5 feet of movement to automatically escape from nonmagical restraints, such as manacles or a creature that has it grappled. Finally, being underwater imposes no penalties on the target's movement or attacks. --- ## At Higher Levels This spell does not have an upcast effect.
