Property
Not really a tree but a woody vine that wraps a host tree and slowly strangles it; when the host rots away, the hollow lattice of vine stands on its own. The sap is used.
Good for: items that grapple, restrain or paralyse (excellent fit), e.g. a rope of entanglement.
Affinity: binding, plants
In this system
