Upon casting this spell, the target is encased in either thorny or soft vines. The vines will wrap around the target, covering them completely. The target must make a Constitution saving throw (DC 12 for Thorny vines, DC 10 for Soft vines) or be affected by the spell.
Thorny Vines: If the target fails the saving throw, they take 1d8 piercing damage at the start of each of their turns. The vines will also drain the life force from the target, causing a sudden increase in plant growth in a 5-foot radius around the target. This plant growth will continue to grow until no more nutrition can be absorbed in the area or until the target escapes from the spell. The radius of the plant growth increases by 3 feet for every level above 3rd, up to a maximum of 20 feet.
Soft Vines: If the target fails the saving throw, they are healed for 1d8 hit points at the start of each of their turns. The vines will also take life force from the surrounding area, causing visible withering in a 5-foot radius around the target. This withering will continue until even the vines themselves have withered or until the target escapes from the spell. The radius of the withering increases by 3 feet for every level above 3rd, up to a maximum of 20 feet.
The caster can choose the type of vine before casting the spell.
Note: The caster has the final say on the type of vines and their effects. This spell will have no effect in areas where plant life is scarce, such as deserts, and the caster should consider the environmental conditions while casting the spell.
