[I Call 'em as I See Them]
The vines grow by his feet. This causes him to ignite a 5pace radius blast. It is smaller than the last blast but I judge he had less time to prepare this time. He uses the small blast to cover moving elsewhere again. He shouldn't be as easy to spot if the foe was that far and should have focused on the blast. Wherever he went he restarts what he was preparing.
