I just discovered spike growth this playthrough. What an amazing spell! Even cast at level 2, it absolutely wrecks groups of monsters.
Yeah it's a really underutilized spell because you look at it and you look at entangle, and entangle hard stops them, and on instinct it seems better. Spike growth slows and damages so much though it's a great way to control a battlefield. At it's best during that fight where you protect halsins portal in the shadow cursed lands.
It has absolutely annihilated the entire groups of enemies for me. One spell won several encounters. When you're shooting them with range, they have no choice but to try to escape, and they'll often walk through the entire thing and kill themselves. It's pretty crazy. I doubt it would work that well in a table top game since the DM would likely jump out of it, or figure something else out, but the game logic engine will just walk them right through it and kill them all.
