Plant Growth

This spell causes normal vegetation (grasses, briars, bushes, creepers, thistles, trees, vines) within 400 feet plus 40 feet per caster level to become thick and overgrown. The plants entwine to form a thicket or jungle that creatures must hack or force a way through. Movement rate is reduced to a maximum of 5'/round, or 10' for Large creatures. The area must have brush and trees in it for this spell to take effect. An area up to 100 feet radius may thus be altered. Also, the caster may specify an area (a path, a clearing, etc.) within the given area of effect which is not so affected. This spell has no effect on plant creatures, that is, any self-willed and/or animated plant.
