Ancient Root (Shillelagh of the Thorny Thicket)

This gnarled dark wooden cane looks by every observation normal. Unfortunately for your enemies that is far from the truth. Ancient Root was born of the Feywild in a region known as The Thorny Thicket.

When struck your enemy suffers blunt terrible force trauma, but it doesn't end there. Sharp thorns grow from Ancient Root, pierce the target and then break off into them. New thorns replace the ones that have broken away immediately and yet the torture continues. At the height of the weapons power a thorny entanglement of vines spouts from the surrounding ground and restrains them.   

Weapon Information:   

The Ancient Root Shillelagh is +1 to hit / +1 to Damage,  1D8 Bludgeoning Damage and an additional 1d4 Damage Piercing (Thorns that grow from the Shillelagh and break off into the Target) 

 On a roll of a Natural 20 Ancient Root casts the spell Entangle. A mass of thorny vines spout from the earth and envelop the target. The target must make a Strength Saving Throw DC13 or be Restrained.

Finally Ancient Root is also a conduit to the Plane of the Feywild. The wielder stands the Shillelagh on the ground. It spouts roots and creates an archway of vines, flowers and thorns. The gateway has only one anchor location in the Feywild and it is at the DM's discretion of where that is.    

Proficiency with a Warhammer allows you to add your proficiency bonus to the attack roll for any attack you make with it.
