Outside of Combat: After channelling for 1 minute, you can create a wooden or plant structure of the form your choosing within 60ft of you, of a size within a space up to 15ft long and 15ft high. You can retract the structure after another minute of channelling, otherwise it remains. The structure has an AC of 10 and had 10 hp.
Within Combat: You may use your action to restrain a creature with vine/roots within 30ft. The creature must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be restrained by the flora for as long as you concentrate on this ability. A creature restrained by the flora can use its action to do a Strength saving throw against your spell save DC. On success it frees itself. Concentration functions the same way spells with concentration do.
You can use this feature a number of times per long rest equal to your Wisdom Modifier. You cannot use this ability if there are no trees or plants around you.

It gains the ability to move its limbs, roots, vines, creepers, and so forth, and it gains senses similar to a human's but cannot speak. Your DM chooses stats appropriate for the awakened plant, such as the statistics for the awakened shrub or the awakened tree. The plant remains awoke for 4 hours or until dispelled. The awakened plant is charmed by you until you and your companions do anything harmful to it. When the ability is finished the plant reverts back to its original form. Use this ability once per long rest.
