Chapter 68
You practice the Lumos Maxima a couple of times, just to be prepared. When you feel confident enough you select the only option on the display: “Ready”. It takes a couple of seconds for the magical barrier to dissipate, but it eventually does and only the fact you already have you wand at ready allows you to cast a strong Lumos Maxima on the vines creeping out and reaching to you. As the plant pulls away from the light, you see that one of the latches on its vivarium came undone and you rush to close it again.
Now that you are safe from the plant, you can confirm that it is indeed a vivid green Devil’s Snare with its swaying plant tendrils. Its vivarium is made to look like a dark and damp cave. Good thing you remembered that it hates heat and light. Although in the worst case, you could always have played dead. The more you struggle against it and the more it will strangle you, but play dead and the plant will let you go. You note that if you ever want to bring someone else here, you should learn the Rennervate spell in case they fall unconscious and the Anapneo in case they choke on their own tongue.
You remember that Devil’s Snare can be used to guard objects, assassinate enemies or as a distraction. If you ever need something guarded, here would be the place.
Feeling a shiver from the encounter you just had, you decide to look at another plant and hope that this one won’t try to kill you. The next magical barrier’s riddle is:
“You can use me to treat acne but I can also cause rashes and burns.”
If you answer “Bubotuber”, go to Chapter 74.
If you answer “Eucalyptus”, go to Chapter 77.
