This was actually made quite a while back, and thanks to quirks in splat and image use, turned out to be more trouble than it should have been. Expect the final version to wind around a bit more.

It's a bit off. A kudzu is supposed to look like this.

Splats and images, eh? At first I thought you used lightnings, but then I remembered that those were limited to additive blending, the bastards.

It's awesome, but at first I was excited that you'd done it in three dimensions. The whole spell seems visually disappointing to me being restricted to just the surface of the terrain.

How does Kudzu work actually, I recall some suggestions at the ToB forums turning roots into a Chain-Entangling-Roots. Is this unit or point targeted?

MTG-inspired content eh? We've done that in B&B, too.

Initially, King Leo should have been called "Mageta", but I thought it didn't really suit the model somehow. I think the tooltip "In the Jungle of War, there's always a Lion" made it somewhere in his skillset.

Finally, we decided to go with "Magenta" for Maggie. I added the N to make it sound more femenine, and to make it a double reference to a colour that sort-of matches her cape.

It's pretty looks nice and all, but it looks out of place, as if you would have to change the cliffs as well.

There's something about that forest troll model that makes it so fitting to be the test subject for spells.
