The Book of Nature contains a mixture of spells convenient for trapping opponents and minions. While it can be useful in creating terrain, the primary function is more suited to a patient player, enabling them to lay traps which hinder the enemy or otherwise minimise the damage they can do as you prepare. Also contains a few "1 hit KO" attacks like Flurry and Vine Bloom.
