1. Identify Vegetables

Sered Cycle

BTS: no st

ULT: 8 hours

Materials: a Target(s) Detected by Caster, either by observation or Magical Effect such as Detect Vegetables (Target does not have to be a Vegetable.  Caster just needs to think it might be.)

Actions: point finger at first Target and scratch head with the other hand

Effect of Throw:

1 to 10 No Effect

³ 11 Chance of Success = 5(T-10)%

Range: 10d ft -d(d-1)/2

Duration: t sec -t(t-1)/2

Notes:

1. Requires 1 sec heavy concentration per Target within Range.  Caster may seek to Identify further Targets within Range per sec of additional Duration, or may make repeated attempts to Identify the same Target in subsequent secs of Duration.
2. If Target is a Vegetable and Chance of Success is rolled, Caster becomes aware of its species & genus.  He will comprehend its name in all Languages in which he is Fluent (even if he doesn't have the particular name of the Target in his vocabulary), and he will have a rough idea of its name in Languages which he Knows.  For example if he is Fluent in Valdrean he will know that a Target tree is a pendunculate or English oak, if he is Fluent in Ancient Valdrean he will know that the Sages classified it as Quercus robur, and if he Knows Quenya he will know it is called nor or norne (but not the Quenya word for the particular genus), but even if he is Fluent in Orcish, he will only know it is a Big Tree worth chopping down (as the Orcs don't have words for different types of tree).
3. Vegetables typically have leaves, fruit and roots.  They include mushrooms, toadstools and (parasitic) tree fungi, but exclude moulds, slimes & oozes, which are organisms (and therefore animals).  They do not include Ents (which are Monsters), but do include Huorns and other ambulatory Trees and Plants.
