What it does

A 6-tile hedge of thorned roots heaves up across the aim (perpendicular) for 8 s. Its tiles carry F_BLOCK only, so walkers can't cross. Flyers (bees, bats, owls, wraiths) pass over it, and every projectile flies through both ways. A foe pressed against it takes 0.4x physical and bleeds (0.1xR per s, 3 s), at most once a second and 1.2x per wall. It never rises under a body, on doors, bridges or water.
