The staff has three command words, each of which can be spoken while holding the staff to cause a different effect:
You can speak the first command word as a bonus action to cause up to 120 feet of creeping vines to grow from the staff at a speed of 30 feet per round toward a solid surface or unattended object you can see.
You can speak the second command word (costing no action) to cause the vines to grow into a solid surface or unattended object within their reach and become firmly affixed. The vines can only be anchored to one object or surface at a time.
You can speak the third command word as an action to cause the vines to retract into the staff at a speed of 30 feet per round. If anchored to a solid surface, they will pull the staff's wielder towards it at the same speed. If anchored to an unattended object, they will pull the object towards the wielder of the staff, instead.
When the vines are extended, they can be attacked. They have an Armor Class (AC) of 14, 45 hit points, and vulnerability to fire and slashing damage. The vines have a Strength score of 16 and can bear up to 240 pounds of weight at once. Weight in excess of this will cause the vines to bein to tear, dealing 10 points of damage to them each round. If the vines drop to 0 hit points the staff is destroyed. Otherwise, the vines regain all lost hit points when they retract into the staff.
