Suggestions of Wormwood skilltree tweaks.

The skill tree design for Wormwood is generally quite good, but compared to the current power level of other skill trees, it feels unbalanced.

Wormwood’s skill tree values are relatively conservative and could definitely be scaled up. Additionally, many of the skills in the tree are essentially useless, which results in players ignoring them entirely. This leads to a waste of art and code resources. However, most of these skills could become much more practical with just small tweaks.

For example, in the left branch of the skill tree, allowing Wormwood to summon more Bulbous Lightbugs or Saladmanders would make a noticeable impact and give players a real incentive to choose those skills, instead of abandoning them.

Likewise, the cost of crafting transplantable crops should be lower for Wormwood, and crops crafted by him should not require fertilization afterward.

Also, the "imprisoned in roots"  effect from the brightshade armor should be inherited by the brambleshade armor. Wormwood players will almost certainly always choose brambleshade armor, which makes the brightshade armor effect and its related art/code essentially wasted.

These adjustments wouldn’t make Wormwood overpowered — they would simply help highlight his unique strengths and bring his skill tree more in line with others in terms of balance.

I also think it would be cool if there was a brambleshade helm 

Also, it would be nice if he was also able to craft a renewable way of getting sea weeds whether it’s through crafting new sea weed stocks which is the current way of transplanting seaweeds or if it’s using seashells and some other ingredient to craft seaweed seeds

I also think it’d be cool if he could make a crop protection system with bramble husk, and a bright shade husk it’s like his own little subspecies of bright shade, which, as you can also tell would be bramble shade, or if you wanna take a different way, you could combine a bright shade husk with a bramble trap to make bramble shade I just normal protection rather than specifically the crops

It would also be a great feature if Wormwood could have more interactions with the moon.
