The Dwellers Below
Botanopathy 5
Botanopathy + Fellowship
TN 40
Action: Full Action
Keywords: Material, Somatic, Verbal, 
Duration: See text

Gnarled creatures emerge from the ground, their steely strong fingers tearing at the foes' flesh, clutching their limbs and dragging them down to who knows what fate.

You create an area of 16m in radius. This area spreads over walls and ceilings and becomes difficult terrain. Those within this area must make an Arcana+Dexterity roll (TN25) or become Immobilized. Failing with two checks also makes the character fall prone. The affected may repeat their saving throw at the end of their turn. Casting this spell in a place with metallic surfaces (like in a moderm building or a spaceship) gives a free raise to the save. The caster and his allies pass this save automatically

Anyone who starts their turn in this area suffers damage with the following profile: (1k1R Sadistic, Toxic). Anyone who dies from this damage has their corpse dragged into the ground and to the warp, forever lost to the inmaterium.

The caster may spend a half action every round to merely maintain this area. This area's size degrades by 2m every round after the caster stops.

Material: Holy water or incense

Overhaul. The school was sprawling before, now it's focused into the grow plant, manipulate/use plant, have plant do bidding mentalities. Lotta spells removed, most reworked, some added. Dwellers below was considered, but a bit redundant. I wanted druid grove but man it's wordy and excessive.
