Description
This spell has two versions:

Prune Growth: The first version causes normal vegetation (grasses, briars, bushes, creepers, thistles, trees, vines, and so forth) within long range (400 feet + 40 feet per level) to shrink to about a third of their normal size, becoming untangled and less bushy. The affected vegetation appears to have been carefully pruned and trimmed.

At the character's option, the area can be a circle with a radius of 100 feet, a semicircle with a radius of 150 feet, or a quarter circle with a radius of 200 feet. The character may also designate areas within the area that are not affected.

Stunt: The second version targets normal plants within a range of one-half mile, reducing their potential productivity over the course of the following year to one-third below normal.

Diminish plants counters plant growth.
