This spell channels vitality into plants. The casting time you use determines whether the spell has the Overgrowth or the Enrichment effect below.
Overgrowth. Choose a point within range. All normal plants in a 100-foot-radius Sphere centered on that point become thick and overgrown. A creature moving through that area must spend 4 feet of movement for every 1 foot it moves. You can exclude one or more areas of any size within the spell’s area from being affected.
Enrichment. All plants in a half-mile radius centered on a point within range become enriched for 365 days. The plants yield twice the normal amount of food when harvested. They can benefit from only one Plant Growth per year.
* - Action (Overgrowth) or 8 hours (Enrichment)

Posted Dec 10, 2024Tonight, my party will attempt to Enrich the vines at Wizard of Wines. 8 hours to cast a spell while in Barovia is not going to be as easy as it sounds...

Posted Jun 9, 2025Basically indefinitely. Or, at least, until someone takes the time to undo it by trimming the plants away, burning them, etc.
Because the spell's duration is Instantaneous, and there's no duration specified for that specific effect, I think we're meant to infer that the "overgrowth" is sort of a magical stimulation of the plants' innate ability to grow. The growth is natural, just magically accelerated, so there's no lingering magical effect that "ends" or can be dispelled.

Posted Jun 13, 2025Your CoS game is way different from the one I'm in. Our first decision was literally "we wander aimlessly" because we didn't want to go to the town.
