Just a few minutes of quick testing, but once you cast POS on it, the spawn gets stuck in an infinite retreat loop. Is this where we should post about this spell or should I move to the Ranger folder?

You reveal yourself.
You gesture.
A leaf-green wave of light ripples outward from you. The surrounding vegetation awakens and stirs in response to your call. Thorn brush and tall grasses weave together, coalescing into a humanoid spawn that rises from the ground and readies itself for battle.

You deftly contribute enough of your harnessed streams to maximize the pattern's potential.
A flicker of earthy greens and blues floods around a thorny spawn in a radial pattern. At first only a handful of tree-squirrel botflies flutter into the area, but these few are quickly joined by teeming masses of their brethren. The tree-squirrel botflies swarm over the thorny spawn, turning it into a writhing nest!

>I’m fairly certain PoS makes the spawn only target undead. It will retreat from anything else.

When Etherian and I checked it out in test last night this was the case. You need to release AF (as the plague spawn created by PoS) and recast it as a forest spawn for it to attack the living.

As an aside, Rangers who don't know the magical feats of Raw Channeling and Efficient Channeling might want to pick those up. It'll make your AF casting life easier.

I'm sure tweaks are coming but I appreciate the rebalancing. The buffing of spawn usually far outweighed the buffing of the character producing the spawn.
