Rooted Wrath

A more powerful version of entangle, this spell imbues the surrounding vegetation with mobility. For every caster level, one 10-foot-long wooden limb grapples and attacks the caster's foes. Vines, roots, branches, and the like can be affected. Each limb is AC 5, has 10 hit points, THACO 17, and at the caster's discretion either causes 1d6 points of damage or grapples the victim, rendering him motionless unless he makes a Bend Bars/Lift Gates check to break free. The limbs suffer only half damage from bludgeoning weapons. Each limb can attack one creature, so up to one creature per caster level can be attacked. Multiple limbs can attack a single victim, requiring multiple Bend Bars/Lift Gates checks from the victim. After the spell fades, the surviving limbs return to their former positions, releasing all foes.

The material component is a drop of the caster's blood and a small, blessed wood carving. Both components are consumed by the spell.
