For the sake of ease, I'm gonna handle mana costs like this: spells instead of getting a 1-100 cost will instead get a 1-10 cost and I'll roll that many d10, the result being how much you pay. This will make things easier and also far more erratic. All hail chaos. Name: GLOBOR THE GLOB

Appearance: a plain man in plain robes
Sphere: Plants
Mana: 20
Create a vine varietal that will expand out in a wide circle around my tower. It's to grow in a non-clustered manner, instead sending out about 10 seperate "lines" along each direction, heading out in a straight line from the tower in 6 directions. When the vines sense motion or life, the central bulb, located in the tower basement, will glow a certain color for the direction and distance. 6 colors for direction, 6 colors for distance, 1 color for life and motion, respectively. Small feelers will reach up throughout the tower to provide a general warning system.
The goal is to make vines that will send an alert to me when they encounter stuff and travel out in hex directions from my tower.
Then explore the surrounding area.
