Thorns

Thorns is a direct Nature Magic attack against a visible target near plants or soil. Its appearance can evoke the dangers hidden in a landscape, even in a seemingly peaceful place. The spell has a defined environmental requirement and an offensive effect. It does not also imprison the target, grow a lasting obstacle or reshape the surroundings without limit according to the caster's wishes.

Before casting, check whether the target's surroundings are suitable. Damage is resolved against magic defence and is not guaranteed simply by describing sharp thorns. No additional repeated attacks or poison effect are specified. It can serve as the party's basic offensive Nature Magic option, while other specific spells handle movement restrictions and attacks over an area.

Exact effect: A direct nature attack against the target's MDEF. Bonus: +2 MATK. Target: 1 target in sight near plants or soil. Duration: instant. Limit: —. Use requires at least INT 7, the appropriate spellcasting ability and knowledge of this spell. Meeting the numerical requirements alone does not grant knowledge of the spell.
