Plant Surge was a light side Force power that was based around the channeling of life energy into plants, allowing the user to improve the plant's rate of growth and even affect the manner in which it grows. In battle, the ability to control a plant's growth could be used to cause plants to grow with incredible speed directly under the user's control, causing plant life to grow and twist around opponents, ensnaring anyone who wasn't quick enough to avoid it. Once ensnared, the victim would find it difficult to dodge and fight, and nearly impossible to move unless they escaped through force or finesse (such a feat was by no means easy for most).
The long-term effects of this sudden growth on plants were unknown, though smaller and more controlled applications of this power could be used in day-to-day gardening, nurturing the growth of strong and healthy plants. This power was rarely seen among Jedi, though it was common among Force-Sensitive Ithorian ecology priests who could use this power to tend to their trees or as a non-violent means of stopping a foe.
Though the most common use of this ability was to ensnare foes, when one considers the enormous variety of plant life found in the galaxy, it is possible that the ability to alter and control the growth of plants could be used for even more creative means by a clever wielder.
i find it a very interesting power that could come in real handy in a tight spot
