-'''Grasping Roots''' is monster-only spell which inflicts [[constriction]] to a [[smite-targeted]] foe. Constriction deals damage every turn, prevents movement or use of stairs, and gives [[blink]]s a chance to fail. You can break out by attempting to move. Targets flying above or swimming in [[deep water]] or [[lava]] are immune.

-'''Grasping Roots''' is an ability unique to [[shambling mangrove]]s and [[Jorgrun]] which causes the network of roots running beneath the earth to rise. These roots [[constrict]] the target, dealing damage every turn until either the player breaks out of the constriction, the caster is killed, or the effect times out. It is analagous to the player spell [[Borgnjor's Vile Clutch]]. Targets flying above or swimming in [[deep water]] or [[lava]] are immune.

	'''Grasping Roots''' is a special ability unique to [[shambling mangrove]]s which causes the network of roots running beneath the earth to rise. These roots apply a 3 [[aut]] [[movement]] delay penalty and -33% [[EV]] reduction to any hostile creature standing on solid ground or shallow water within sight of the mangrove. Creatures above [[lava]] and [[deep water]] are unaffected. [[Fly]]ing creatures are also unimpeded, but the roots have a high chance of rising up and pulling them back to the ground.
