* This is a very common form of magic used by Plant witches in ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'', which is often used for grabbing things from a distance, ensnaring opponents, anchoring objects in place, or slashing obstacles apart with razor sharp thorns. Luz also learns how to do this after obtaining the plant glyph near the end of season 1, and while she many not have the raw power or fine control of a natural witch (especially compared to her plant prodigy friend Willow), she still gets a lot of mileage out of it and it becomes her go to utility spell.

** Julia Wittebane's Quirk is called "Vines", which manifests as thorny vines from the base of her fingers, that she could control and extend at will. Luz takes away her Quirk at her friend's request during Summer Camp, for a chance for her parents to take her back home, seeing her powers as a curse.

** [[spoiler:After the Death Camp experience, Luz later gives the Quirk away to some kid who liked Spider-Man as it reminded her too much of Julia's CruelAndUnusualDeath. She later takes it back from boy's corpse during the Battle of Gravesfield to fight the Golden Guard. After achieving "Quirk Awakening", the Vines can grow and shrink to whatever size, weight, girth, or appearance that Luz wishes. By stomping on the ground, Luz can have the vines spawn from underneath her. The Vines can grow to upwards of 5 miles and can grow to the size and thickness of tree trunks.]]
