Spike Growth
Covers the terrain with small spikes. Any creature will suffer (Caster Level / 5) * 1d6 + 2 points of piercing damage each round that they remain within the afflicted area. A passed Reflex save halves the damage received and prevents a movement speed reduction of 30%. If affected by the speed reduction, the effect is permanent until the creature leaves the area of effect.

How it works
- The area lasts one round per caster level. Extend doubles that, and Empower adds half again.
- Each round inside it does one six-sided die of piercing damage per five caster levels, plus 2, with a Reflex save for half, and movement is slowed by 30% while you stay in it.
Where it comes from
Cleric domain: Plant (level 3).
