When cast, this spell causes leaves of any type to become rigid and razor sharp, effectively becoming knives. These sharp leaves can be wielded or thrown, causing 1d3 points of damage if a successful attack roll is made.

The leaves can also be crushed and crumpled before the casting, then serving as caltrops doing 1d2 points of damage. Three leaves per level of the caster can be affected. If mistletoe is used as the object of the spell, 1 point of additional damage is added.

The material components are leaves and sap from a hardwood tree, which is sprinkled on them.

Notes: Very rare druid spell. (Updated from Dragon Magazine.)
