The Wɪᴛᴄʜ Dᴏᴄᴛᴏʀ calls upon the wicked powers of the Elemental and Immortal Spirits to inflict adversity and torment through intricate rituals and elaborate brewing. The results of their magic, unlike their shaman sub-type relatives, are barbaric and often unpredictable. With the ability to convene with the Elemental and Immortal Spirits, the Witch Doctor has a wide variety of maledictions to place on poor, unfortunate souls.

A Witch Doctor is required to conduct a ritual so that they may invoke the Spirits for power. During a ritual, the Witch Doctor connects to the Spiritual Realm, creating a channel that allows their ceremony to call out to the Spirits. Rituals consist of three things: Incantations, Ingredients, and Movements. All components of the ritual guide a Witch Doctor’s call to attract the desired Spirit. Every ritual is imperfect and unpredictable; thus, a repeated ritual may not yield the same affliction. The entire ritual requires at least [5] emotes: [3] of which must contain actions and [2] of which must contain chants.

 

The Incantations are the phrases the Witch Doctor chants in Old Blah. The Incantations themselves must request to draw from the intended Spirit’s domain, the desired affliction, and overall be comprehensible. A well-worded incantation can allow for highly specific afflictions to be applied to victims. Tone and volume of the voice when chanting are also factors when calling upon a Spirit. The Incantation allows for the Witch Doctor to be clear in their necessities, narrow down the many disorders that bustle within the Spiritual Realm, and entice the Spirit.

 

The Ingredients are the reagents gathered that are completely symbolic in representing the Spirit the Witch Doctor wishes to utilize. Items gathered by the Witch Doctor are to be chosen carefully to attract the target Spirit and dictate specific afflictions. A proper setting of where the ritual takes place contributes to the Ingredients, counting as [1]. A Witch Doctor must have at least [3] different Ingredients.

 

The Movements are all the physical motions the body of the shaman does. This ranges from the posture, body gestures, to the dancing of the Witch Doctor. Every movement contributes to the ritual in luring the correct Spirit.

 

ᴇxᴀᴍᴘʟᴇ ɢᴜɪᴅᴇ:

Spoiler

In this example of a Witch Doctor Ritual, the target Spirit is the Spirit of Greed and Gluttony. The Incantation created for this example is: “Ilzgûl throqumob! Ilzgûl naakhumob! Ghashulkumanul dagamum! Thrakat naakhum agh zabrûzum! Ikhat throqu maatum!!” In common, this translates into:” Spirit of hunger! Spirit of greed! Curse them with fatness! Bring greed and emptiness! Force to eat sweets!” This chant shows the goal of the Witch Doctor: the intended domain, wanted affliction, specific conditions, and a clear, grammatically correct sentence. Next, the shaman gathers the Ingredients for the Spirit. Items obtained could be plentiful amounts of pastries and cake, precious gems or minerals, or the stomach of a bull; these are just a few examples. The food and stomach represent gluttony and hunger, while the precious jewels symbolize greed. Finally, the Movement of the Witch Doctor could be sluggish as they chew through food quickly in symbolizing gluttony. The shaman could also hug the materials close while swaying away to represent hoarding. This ritual would bestow a malediction of gluttony for cake, although this is not always guaranteed.

 

Witch Doctors craft their spells through rituals and must maintain concentration on their ceremony as well as the connection between the Spiritual Realm. The art involves calling out to the Spirits, putting on a performance, and hoping the wanted Spirit is attracted and appeased. Due to the amount of focus and complexity of the ritual, performing a ritual mid-combat is impossible and will interfere with the channel created between the Spiritual Realm.

 

Rᴇᴅʟɪɴᴇꜱ:

Spoiler

⬢ Rituals cannot able to be conducted while engaging in direct combat. Cursing from afar in #S while uninterrupted is allowed; they require concentration to project the Incantation into the Spiritual Realm. Said Incantation must be in Old Blah, but Witch Doctors may add in common in a different sentence.

⬢ Rituals are canceled out should any person disrupt the ritual site or the shaman performing it.

⬢ A minimum of [3] different Ingredients are required to initiate a ritual. IRP Representation of the items is mandatory. A proper setting that represents the spirit where the ritual takes place counts as [1] Ingredient. An example would be having a fire set up where the ritual is taking place; ingredients must be disposed of mechanically after use.

⬢ For a ritual to be completed, there must be [3] actions of the ritual and [2] chants: in a total of at least [5] emotes.

ɪᴍʙᴜɪɴɢ ꜱᴘᴇʟʟꜱ

 

The Witch Doctor specializes in casting curses and brewing hexes. Curses are described as afflictions that are applied directly to the soul through ritual. Hexes are defined as the spiritual power imbued into a potion, which can affect the soul. The two differ in their versatility and flexibility. Either way, they both will bestow a spell that afflicts the soul, both fauna and flora. Spells are attached to the soul of a victim; therefore, magic that can affect the soul will relieve the victim of the spell. As the Spirit’s power is bound to the soul and alters it, the malediction can leave behind physical effects on the victim if the spell does such. 

 

» Cᴜʀꜱᴇꜱ are immediate maledictions to the soul that can be cast within a [20] meters’ range. A Witch Doctor may often not have the tools, or simply the need, to brew a hex. Instead, the Witch Doctor can commence a ritual that will instantly afflict the target with a curse. Movements of the ritual play the most crucial role in this form of spellcasting due to the instantaneous results and appeasements for the Spirits.

 

» Hᴇxᴇꜱ are concoctions that are essentially sapped spiritual essence that will inflict a spell. If a Witch Doctor wishes to conjure a spell that could also be stored for later, then hexes would be of good use. The hex must be created into a bottle, jar, cauldron, or any other container with liquid. The Ingredients must be inserted into the container of the liquid, which then must be shaken or stirred in ways that coordinate with the Movements of the ritual. Ingredients play a vital role in this system of spellcasting, and due to the complexity of brewing a potion, there is more flexibility. They can be applied to regions to create zones of cursed land. Affected pools of water and affected plants will spread their curse to any animal or descendant that eats them/drinks from them/has any part of the affected plant enter their body. Any animal or descendant affected by this that bites another animal or descendant will have the curse spread to them. Curses spread in this fashion will only last for [1] OOC day. Simply walking over a cursed area of land will not inflict a curse. These areas must be ST-approved. Cursed land requires RO permission if it causes biome changes.

 

» Pᴏᴛɪᴏɴꜱ may be poured onto other material so that they may carry the effects of the hex should that material enter the victim. For example, pouring a hex on bread. The piece of bread that the hex touched may deliver the malediction if a victim were to consume it. Another example could be combining it with a fine powder so that those who inhale it would be afflicted by the spell.

From this versatility, potions are able to be imbued with the positive effects of a Spirit, a cursed blessing called an elixir. These blessings contain drawbacks, or minor curses, woven by the mischievous intent of the Spirits within the brew. These potions can only be achieved by [Tɪᴇʀ IV] and [Tɪᴇʀ V] Witch Doctors. The strength and duration of elixirs are weaker than hexes and are subpar, lasting a maximum of [4] OOC hours. These potions do not have true blessings; instead, they respond to a desire from the victim to exhibit a certain trait or desirable curse effect. For example, a devout worshipper of Luara may desire a more fervent appreciation of the moon. When the Witch Doctor crafts the elixir, the resulting potion will contain both an obsession with the moon and a random curse. Both a “boon” and a bane must be selected from the list of curses appropriate to the Spirit. If there are no appropriate boons, the elixir will grant visions and hallucinations that reflect the Spirit used in the ritual. These visions and hallucinations are usually positive and are chosen by the person who drinks it.

 

Some Witch Doctors deliberately curse sectioned-off areas of land to cultivate fruits or vegetables that are naturally imbued with a mild curse. These plants require [5] OOC days of care and attention, at least once every OOC day, and screenshots of such should be kept to indicate that suitable RP has taken place. On the fifth day, a maximum of [10] fruits or vegetables can be harvested from the site. These cursed fruits or vegetables may be roleplayed to a lesser degree than other curses, and will only last a maximum of [2] OOC hours each; the curse is not affected by cooking. These must be ST signed. When poured on the ground, they spread to affect a [15] meter area, and persist there for [1] OOC week.

 

Rᴇᴅʟɪɴᴇꜱ:

Spoiler

⬢ From the listed options under each spirit, only [1] may be chosen. No spirit can grant more than one specific type of curse. This may either be rolled for or decided by the victim or both parties.

⬢ No overstacking curses. Only [1] may be used in a single ritual. [Tɪᴇʀ V] Witch Doctors may apply a maximum of [2] curses on a person.

⬢ Spell durations are maxed as detailed with a maximum of [2] OOC days. The duration may be extended should the victim give OOC consent.

⬢ Curses may be extended past the [2] OOC day limit only if the victim requests it in OOC, to a maximum of [7] OOC days. After this, the curse must be reapplied.

⬢ Maledictions cannot directly inflict death or instant lethality.

⬢ Witch Doctors can only revoke their own spells.

⬢ Maledictions cannot transform one material into a different material or utilize lust or the elements.

⬢ Maledictions latch onto the soul that linger after death, which can only be healed by magics that affect such.

⬢ The victim must be present at the ritual for a direct curse, being able to OOCly see your actions as you conduct the ritual before you finish.

⬢ Curses cannot be used to enhance the natural abilities of a descendant past their limitations. For example, no amount of cursing will overpower an Olog’s emotions, and a halfling will never be stronger than their limits.

⬢ Side effects from curses such as disease, depression, insomnia, addiction, or any other effects may be RPd after the curse has worn off. This can only be decided by the victim.

⬢ Potions may only affect victims if they enter their system. This may be through consumption, wounds, inhalation, etc. Land and flora are affected by simply pouring the potion onto them.

⬢ Unused potions expire after [1] OOC month. 

⬢ Elixirs must contain one boon and one bane associated with the Spirit that gave the blessing.

⬢ Elixirs and hexes must be signed by the ST. Create an /sreq to do so.

⬢ Cursed Land areas must be approved by an ST member before signs are put up.

⬢ Cursed fruits and vegetables must be ST signed.

⬢ Elixirs are only effective on the person who has requested them, as that person is part of the ritual.

⬢ It is the responsibility of a Witch Doctor to discuss side effects with victims to ensure fun RP can be had by both sides.

⬢ These spells can only be obtained after a spirit walk to the appropriate spirit, a minor test, and a discussion of worship.

⬢ PRO permission is mandatory for any biome-changing curses.

 

Fᴀɪʟᴇᴅ Mᴀʟᴇᴅɪᴄᴛɪᴏɴꜱ

 

When a Witch Doctor fails a [/roll 6], a variety of effects can hit both the target and the Witch Doctor. Due to their failure to attract certain types of spirits, an amalgamation of different kinds comes together and produces oddities. These effects only last for [2] OOC hours.

 

ᴘᴏꜱꜱɪʙʟᴇ ꜱɪᴅᴇ ᴇꜰꜰᴇᴄᴛꜱ:

» Different coloured splotches on the skin, fingernails, or tongue.

» Mild abnormal behaviour, of any kind. Includes, but is not limited to, hallucinations, paranoia, depression, etc..

» Strong emotional states, such as being overly and annoyingly happy.

» Minor illness symptoms, such as having a runny nose or coughing.

 

Rᴇᴅʟɪɴᴇꜱ:

Spoiler

⬢ Failed rituals are completely inconsequential. These spells are to be silly, fun, and have no grand effects.

⬢ Failed ritual effects are unknown until the victim and the Witch Doctor are afflicted by it for others to observe.

 

Pʀᴀᴄᴛɪᴄᴀʟ Aᴘᴘʟɪᴄᴀᴛɪᴏɴꜱ

 

Starting at [Tɪᴇʀ IV], a Witch Doctor may coalesce their hexes into a thick paste. This paste can be applied to sharp darts, so the curse may be afflicted from range, though it is limited to only being effective within [20] meter range of the target. While mostly used for hunting, such as enraging a beast with a bloodlust curse to make it a more honorable kill, it works just fine on descendants. If the dart does not pierce the skin of the target, the curse cannot be applied. The paste cannot be made in combat and takes two emotes to successfully apply it to a single dart. Each bottled hex is only able to produce two separate portions of paste.

 

When attacked in this manner, the curse takes [1] emote to start working, and progresses rapidly over [4] emotes. It lasts for the maximum amount of time applicable by the Witch Doctor, unless the Witch Doctor removes it. Using a blowgun requires emotes as per Techlock. While the paste is most commonly applied to darts, it can be applied to arrows and sharp weapons.

 

The paste must be fresh (no older than [2] OOC hours), otherwise it loses its potency.

 

Rᴇᴅʟɪɴᴇꜱ:

Spoiler

⬢ Failure to apply the paste to darts in combat without interruption will cause the shaman to accidentally apply the curse to themselves. 

⬢ No automatic blowguns. Only one dart can be shot at a time.

ꜱʜᴀᴄᴋʟɪɴɢ ꜱᴏᴜʟꜱ

 

Driven by malicious intent, ambitious Witch Doctors have discovered a powerful tool to inflict maledictions upon descendants - the voodoo doll. Voodoo dolls are puppets that represent the victim the Witch Doctor wishes to afflict. The puppet and the person in question must have similarities, and the puppet must contain reagents from the person for the doll to be utilized. 

 

Reagents are parts of the body from the descendant that must be incorporated into the doll. This must be a substantial amount of part of the body; a lock of hair and a vial of fresh blood are acceptable materials. The reagents must be infused with a puppet before the substance expires. There must be at least two pieces of organic material to make the voodoo doll work. Organic material from the dead body of the victim will not work; it must be from the body they currently have.

 

Through a ritual, the voodoo doll creates a link between the victim and the puppet. This fetish allows the Witch Doctor to place a curse on the person through a tether created between the two entities. Tethers are only active when a malediction is cast. The sufferer can be afflicted by direct cursing of the doll, or by pouring a potion onto it. The connection is dependent on the close resemblance of the doll and its quality.

 

After [1] use of the voodoo doll, the doll and organic material disintegrate and may no longer be used. Additionally, maledictions are less potent, and the duration is reduced to [12] hours. If, however, the Witch Doctor uses the doll with line of sight of the victim, the victim will be afflicted with the full effects of the spell. A Witch Doctor must be at least [Tɪᴇʀ III] to use this ability.

 

Rᴇᴅʟɪɴᴇꜱ:

Spoiler

⬢ A voodoo doll may only be used once before it disintegrates.

⬢ The voodoo doll must have a close resemblance to the descendant.

⬢ Organic material, excluding hair, expires after [3] OOC hours of being unattached from the victim.

⬢ The maximum duration of a malediction by a voodoo doll is [12] OOC hours.

⬢ A Witch Doctor must be at least [Tɪᴇʀ III] to use this ability.

⬢ This is the only tool that may bypass the distance restriction of direct cursing.

⬢ Maledictions that achieve lethality or death as a result are impossible via a voodoo doll.

⬢ Reagents gathered must have screenshot proof of collection with the date and time visible. This is to prevent OOC abuse of hoarding incredibly old body parts.

⬢ Do not use reagents from dead bodies.

⬢ If unsure about what is a suitable reagent for whatever reason, contact the ST.

Witch Doctors can heal wounds if they have a close bond with Akezo. While they can reattach limbs, they may only do so when the lost body part is available and within the current RP session; if you lose a limb and it gets eaten by something or moulds due to IRP time, there’s no returning it. While this miraculous ritual is possible, it comes with a great range of side effects depending on the body part healed. These side effects will always be there, unless the affected body part is removed again and heals naturally. Side effects should always be discussed with the injured party in OOC before being agreed upon. Do not force effects upon them. Arms, legs, ears, and any other external body part will take one side effect each from both skin and muscle side effects. Good medical knowledge must have been obtained before any healing; Witch Doctors cannot shove organs back into a body, perform the ritual, and obtain good results. Lost limbs must be stitched back onto a treated stump. Cauterization is recommended to prevent fatal blood loss.

 

This ability will require one [1] session for minor cuts, scars, and burns, [2] sessions for major cuts, scars, and burns, [3] sessions for severe burns, mass scarring, and potentially fatal cuts that sever arteries or veins, and [5] sessions for organ healing and body part reattachment. Skipping sessions can result in wounds reopening, infections setting in, a reattached limb rotting, or similar occurrences. These sessions may only occur [1] time per OOC day. Should [2] OOC weeks pass and the sessions have not been completed, the side effects of skipping sessions will swiftly set in and cannot be rectified. While scar tissue can be repaired, it requires a separate ritual. It must take at least one side effect from both skin and muscle side effects. This can be completed in [1] session.

 

ᴘᴏꜱꜱɪʙʟᴇ ꜱɪᴅᴇ ᴇꜰꜰᴇᴄᴛꜱ:

Spoiler

» Arms/Hands: Numbness, no/low motor skills, trouble gripping things, tingling sensation, loss of sensation.

» Legs/Feet: Limping, slow movement, muscle weakness, loss of sensation.

» Tongue: Garbled speech, muteness, loss of sense of taste, synesthesia.

» Eyes: Blindness, colour blindness (up to and including monochromatism), fuzzy vision, hallucinations, synesthesia.

» Ears: Deafness, chronic tinnitus, auditory hallucinations, synesthesia.

» Internal organs: Lowered ability to function, susceptible to disease.

» Skin (shared with all limbs): Constant tingling sensation, occasional irritation, rashes, sensitivity to touch, synesthesia.

» Muscle (shared with all limbs): Chronic weakness, occasional pain, tics, and twitches.

 

ᴅᴇꜰɪɴɪᴛɪᴏɴꜱ:

» Tinnitus: Hearing whooshing, buzzing, roaring, or musical sounds, mostly in quiet areas.

» Synesthesia: An odd condition where senses get confused. For example, one might hear music playing and think that it tastes like apples, or see a tree and think it looks like glass.

 

Witch Doctors may also create new limbs, eyes, ears, tongues, and most external body parts from things they may have lying around. Only substances that are considered organic will work, such as meat from animals, plants, etc.. The Witch Doctor must perform the normal Akezo ritual for this. These grisly creations must conform to “normal” anatomy; an arm needs bones, tendons, and nails, and eyes need smooth surfaces, for example. Once the creation is attached, it can only operate at a bare minimum level. They have no fine motor functions, and the user will find them clumsy and awkward to control. 

 

The skin does not return to normal. Instead, the potion of Akezo from the ritual cloaks the replaced body part with a sickly sheen, much akin to rotten flesh. This is probably not something anyone wants on them, unless they are incredibly desperate. The replaced body part does not become part of the person’s soul blueprint, thus they do not reappear when a person is revived by the monks. This can be completed in a single sitting, although it will require [2] additional sessions within [1] OOC week to prevent holes emerging in the covering.

 

Rᴇᴅʟɪɴᴇꜱ:

Spoiler

⬢ Side effects must be agreed upon by both the injured party and the Witch Doctor. This must be done in OOC, with all options provided.

⬢ Death cannot be healed or fixed. The ritual will fail.

⬢ Normal, sensible medical RP must take place during the ritual, such as tying a tourniquet to the stump of a severed limb to prevent death from blood loss.

⬢ Severed body parts must be stitched back onto the injured party properly, or the ritual will fail.

⬢ Limbs that are more than [24] OOC hours old may not be reattached.

⬢ Warped healing is strictly prohibited; you may not attach someone’s arm backwards or place their heart where their liver should be. This kills the crab.

⬢ All side effects are permanent until the removal of the offending body part.

⬢ Cursed Healing side effects are a result of a stain on the soul itself. They cannot be removed by mundane healing methods or by resurrection by the monks.

⬢ Synesthesia effects must remain constant. For example, if it is agreed that the sense of touch will produce visual effects, this may not be switched to auditory effects.

⬢ While the limbs of other people can be used for replacement limbs, they lose all identifying characteristics and look the same as if the Witch Doctor had used a random piece of meat from an animal.

Fᴀᴜɴᴀ are all animals and soul-bearing beings. This ranges from Descendants, Inferi, Nephilim, Undead, Beastfolk, and even mundane beasts and critters.

Fʟᴏʀᴀ are all trees, plants, fungi, and living wildlife which does not fall under Fauna. These do not include magical beings such as fae.

 

Witch Doctors do not conjure nor influence elements as Elementalist do. However, they may still call upon them for effects that are not purely of the elements they represent, but rather offshoots of them.

 

To use the spells below, a Witchdoctor must have a pact with one of the aforementioned Spirits or their Lessers.

 

Curse of Skathach - Spirit of Fire, depicted as a burning wolf

» Fᴀᴜɴᴀ: Curses inflicted by this spirit will cause victims’ body temperature to rise, or have skin irritation - such as tenderness or itchiness.

» Fʟᴏʀᴀ: Curses inflicted by this spirit will cause flora and soil to shrivel or dry out.

 

Rᴇᴅʟɪɴᴇꜱ:

Spoiler

⬢ Cannot burn the victim. Cannot be used to summon or manipulate fire.

 

Curse of Akathro - Spirit of Water, depicted as a half woman, half fish

» Fᴀᴜɴᴀ: Curses inflicted by this spirit will cause victims to sweat, cry, vomit, drool, or suffer congestion.

» Fʟᴏʀᴀ: Curses inflicted by this spirit will cause flora and soil to excrete more fluids.

 

Rᴇᴅʟɪɴᴇꜱ:

Spoiler

⬢ This spell cannot be used to force someone to ‘bleed out’.

⬢ Cannot be used to summon or manipulate water.

 

Curse of Bregthar - Spirit of Earth, depicted as an aged stone behemoth

» Fᴀᴜɴᴀ: Curses inflicted by this spirit will cause victims’ bodies to become dry or flaky, lethargic, or have stiff joints.

» Fʟᴏʀᴀ: Curses inflicted by this spirit will cause flora and soil to become cracked or gain minor fissures. Separation of the earth and living beings.

 

Rᴇᴅʟɪɴᴇꜱ:

Spoiler

⬢ It can only be used to create a separation of moisture and dryness, meaning it would not be possible to create an earthquake or sizable fissure as the curse would act too slowly to make this possible.

⬢ Cannot be used to summon or manipulate earth or stone.

 

Curse of Fiarza - Spirit of Air, depicted as an agile woman adorned in feathers, able to shift shape into any flying animal.

» Fᴀᴜɴᴀ: Curses inflicted by this spirit will cause victims to sneeze, yawn, have breathing troubles - heavy breathing or gasping, laughter, absurd odor, and/or loss of balance.

» Fʟᴏʀᴀ: Curses inflicted by this spirit will cause flora and soil to become offensively fragrant, and/or flimsy to the point of breaking.

 

Rᴇᴅʟɪɴᴇꜱ:

Spoiler

⬢ It cannot be used to make the victim unable to breathe at all/choke a victim to death.

⬢ Cannot be used to summon or manipulate gales of wind.

 

Curse of Kulthark - Spirit of Metal, depicted as a hollow suit of armor that can shift shape into a variety of forms.

» Fᴀᴜɴᴀ: Curses inflicted by this spirit will cause sensations of heaviness, stubbornness, and/or denseness in mind and body. 

» Fʟᴏʀᴀ: Curses inflicted by this spirit will cause flora and soil to wilt, and/or droop.

 

Rᴇᴅʟɪɴᴇꜱ:

Spoiler

⬢ While this causes a sensation of heaviness, it is a mental affliction and cannot physically force someone to the floor.

⬢ Cannot be used to summon or manipulate metal.

 

Curse of Neizdark - Spirit of Storm, depicted as a mass of thundering clouds that can take on any shape

» Fᴀᴜɴᴀ: Curses inflicted by this spirit will cause victims to have sporadic actions or behavior - such as spasms or being overly energetic.

» Fʟᴏʀᴀ: Curses inflicted by this spirit will cause flora and soil to have sporadic behavior. They will grow in odd and unhealthy ways, or a bush may find all its green branches stand on end.

 

Rᴇᴅʟɪɴᴇꜱ:

Spoiler

⬢ This does not grant the victim unlimited power or energy; they will still be susceptible to fatigue.

⬢ The sporadic actions can only be minor and cannot be used to endanger the victim’s life.

⬢ Cannot be used to summon or manipulate lightning.

 

This realm houses the Spirits that reign over concepts, ideas, emotions, and more specific things spread across the Universe. For instance, a house may be made of stone, and as such tied to the Elemental of Stone, yet an Immortal Spirit will exist to reign over the concept of what a house is and can influence it in such a way as to improve or weaken the structure.

 

Curse of Votar - Spirit of the Hunt, appears as a giant half-wolf-half-stag with a bloodied snout. Governs the art of hunting and is often praised by offering tribute in the form of hunting trophies.

» Fᴀᴜɴᴀ: Curses inflicted by this spirit will cause victims to lose instinct or the five senses, act in a bestial manner, or suffer diminished hunting skills and abilities. Victims may also be struck by a strong desire to hunt, ignoring all other tasks besides that of self-preservation.

» Fʟᴏʀᴀ: Curses inflicted by this spirit will cause flora and soil to compete over resources and nutrients. This may cause areas to grow sparsely and become choked by a single plant.

 

Rᴇᴅʟɪɴᴇꜱ:

Spoiler
