Vine Manipulation

A Thorn Nymph has this special ability that they use regularly. It allows the Nymph to shape, grow, and alter any vines, brambles, or thorns in the Nymphs vicinity in any way it can imagine. This includes the vines which make up a Thorn Nymphs body but only a few practiced individuals use this in that manner. Examples: Forming a protective wall, creating an arm shield, binding foes, creating gateways, closing gateways, thwarting pursuers, thorn whips, thorn brass knuckles, rope, nets. Taelondrom the Thorn Nymph has trained in this skill extensively, gaining full mastery of the ability. It is the most talented at this skill in all of Continental. It takes mere seconds to construct a high wall or part its bramble gate.
