Sprouting Shackles of Doom

Cost: 10m Target: Template:One creature

The sorcerer casts this spell with the gesture that vines make as they climb. The Essence of the spell evokes a magical automaton from local vegetation, so that thick vines rise up and seize a target no more than 30 yards away. The spell can draw upon any plant life, as well as lichens and fungi, but fails if there are no suitable life forms in the area whatsoever.

The conjured tendrils seize the target in a clinch and squeeze until he is Incapacitated. After that, the tendrils simply hold the target. The magical vines have a reach equal to the caster's Essence in yards, and they continue to writhe and snatch at the target if he moves out of their reach. The sprouting shackles exist for a scene or until they are dispersed (by the sorcerer), dispelled or destroyed.
