Flora

You imbue plants within 30 feet of you with limited intellect and sentience, giving them the ability to communicate with you and follow simple commands. They can be asked questions about events up to the previous day, within the spell’s area, and can provide information about creatures that passed by, the weather, and other circumstances.

Difficult terrain created by plant growth (such as thickets and undergrowth) can become normal terrain for the duration of the spell. Or you can turn normal terrain where plants are present into difficult terrain for the duration of the spell, causing vines and branches to hinder pursuers, for example.

Plants can perform other tasks for you, at the Game Master’s discretion. The spell doesn’t allow plants to uproot themselves or move, but they can move branches, stalks, and tendrils freely.

If a plant-type creature is in the area, you can communicate with it as if you shared a common language, but this doesn’t grant any magical ability to influence it.

This spell allows plants created by the constriction spell to release a Restrained creature.
