Entangle

Yes, yes, this is a standard spell and it's not at all original. I know. Can we move on?

Effect

A mass of vines springs up to grab ahold of its victims and trap them. (Or suffocate them. Or crush their bones.) Only a few vines can be managed by a single sage, but multiple sages can entangle an entire squadron.

Side/Secondary Effects

Vines are flighty little things, and if you don't grow them properly with your magic spell, it's likely that they'll run rampant and grab whoever or whatever they feel like. So, take the time to master this spell. No need to explain to that scary one over there why you accidentally caught them up in the spell instead of the bandits that jumped out to attack your party...

Applied Restriction

As with all gaia spells, this one requires the proper conditions: decent soil and water. The climate will affect the spell's effectiveness, so don't expect to sprout tropical vines in the middle of a blizzard on the tallest mountain.
