Description

This poultice is brewed from stangling vine, sawgrass, and rose stems. When the holder smears it upon their skin, bristles burst from their body, wrapping around their weapons, lodging in their opponents and blossoming into piercing vines as they pummel their target. While this poultice is in effect, the holder's melee attacks deal an additional 1d6 points of damage. This is piercing damage.

This spell lays an arcane charge on its target(s). If the targets are something other than you or another creature (such as an object or area), the spell lays an arcane charge on you, the caster. Targets which already have an arcane charge present must choose which to keep if the new spell has the same charge type. Only one arcane charge can ever be present on a target at a time.
