Thorny Entanglement
Thorny Entanglement
This spell functions as Entangle, causing tall grass, weeds, and other plants to wrap around creatures in the area of effect or those that enter the area. Creatures that fail their save gain the entangled condition. Creatures that make their save can move as normal, but those that remain in the area must save again at the end of your turn. Creatures that move into the area must save immediately. Those that fail must end their movement and gain the entangled condition. Entangled creatures can attempt to break free as a move action, making a Strength or Escape Artist check. The DC for this check is equal to the DC of the spell. The entire area of effect is considered difficult terrain while the effect lasts.
In addition, plants affected by Thorny Entanglement also grow thorns and can fling them up to 15 feet. Any creature that moves within 15 feet of the spell’s area is attacked once on its turn by the animated plants. The plants use your caster level as their base attack bonus and add your spellcasting ability score modifier (Intelligence for witches; Wisdom for druids, rangers, and shamans) to the attack roll. A volley of thorns counts as a thrown weapon and deals 2d6 points of piercing damage on a successful hit. A creature that enters the spell’s area or ends its turn there automatically takes 2d6 points of piercing damage.

Although the Thorny Entanglment spell is magically aligned with the Brambleson star, and often gifted by the Prince of Rabbits to his followers, it is not an exclusively Brambleite spell. So, while it is officially legal to know and use, it may attract suspicion from the authorities and could be considered evidence towards illegal worship of unsanctioned deities.
