Notes

If a character becomes Entangled when this spell is cast, it remains so until the end of its next turn, because Entangled loses duration at the end of the turn. Instead, Prone from Grease or Enwebbed from Web do not prevent a character from moving during its next turn (unless they get this condition again when moving).
Equivalent spell, Faithwarden's Vines, is provided by the Pale Oak.
