====== Wand of Regrowth ======

{{ rpd:images:wand_of_regrowth_item.png|Wand of Regrowth }}

The Wand of Regrowth is a wand that grows vegetation along the zap path and roots creatures on the targeted cell via a [[en:rpd:regrowth_mechanic|Regrowth]] blob.

==== Effect ====
When zapped, the Wand of Regrowth:
  * **Vegetation Growth:** Converts EMPTY, EMBERS, and EMPTY_DECO tiles along the zap path to GRASS
  * **Blob Effect:** Plants a [[en:rpd:regrowth_mechanic|Regrowth]] blob on the targeted cell, which converts remaining open tiles to GRASS/HIGH_GRASS over time and applies the [[en:rpd:roots_buff|Roots]] effect to creatures inside it
  * **Terrain Failure:** Zapping any non-vegetable terrain produces a "nothing happened" message

==== Properties ====
  * **Type:** Wand
  * **Special Effect:** Grows vegetation and roots creatures
  * **Targeting:** Ballistic path to a chosen cell
  * **Charges:** Recharges over time like other wands

==== Mechanics ====
  * The path along the zap converts EMPTY, EMBERS, and EMPTY_DECO terrain to GRASS
  * On the targeted cell, if the terrain is EMPTY, EMBERS, EMPTY_DECO, GRASS, or HIGH_GRASS, a Regrowth blob is planted with duration `(effectiveLevel() + 2) * 20` (so duration scales with wand level)
  * The Regrowth blob itself, as it evolves, finishes converting open tiles to GRASS/HIGH_GRASS and applies the Roots buff to any character on those tiles for one tick each turn
  * Zapping any other terrain prints "nothing happened" and plants no blob

==== Strategy ====
  * Use to block line of sight and movement in corridors
  * Effective for temporarily immobilizing enemies while the Regrowth blob lingers
  * Can be used defensively to create barriers
  * Useful for nature-themed builds or characters
  * Good for controlling the battlefield by changing terrain
