Berry Vinewand  
Behaviour  
A caster of love spells.

Seen When  
Only when the seer holds a four-leafed clover.

Habitat  
At the bottom of tangled gardens and in hedgerows  
Berry Vinewand is apparently a damned slacker. Caster of love spells indeed. As soon as I get a seer to hold a four leaved clover, I’m going down to the local tangled garden to kick Berry’s ass.

Oh, and for you Columbine folks, [columbine](http://www.nargs.org/gardening/Aquilegia.canadensis.html) is a very attractive wildflower so don’t let the name get you down.
