There's an unrelated game called Shadow Hunters. It's a game where you fight people
An average attack does around 2-3 damage. But, you can also draw items. There's two decks, a 'light' and a 'dark' deck. The 'light' deck contains mostly healing items. The 'dark' deck contains mainly damage items (e.g. deal 2 damage to opponent, heal 1 damage).
An average character has 12 HP. There's this one card in the white deck, called "First Aid". The text reads: "Set a character's HP to 5."
So... what if a character is at full health? Then you set its HP to 5. That deals 7 points of damage, which is more than the strongest attack, more than anything in the 'dark' deck, hilariously overpowered, crazy. It's also a FIRST AID card, and it shows a picture of a medical kit. So people asked for a clarification whether it was meant to be this stupid thing, or whether it was meant to only work for healing.
RESULT: The American publishers (the original game was Japanese) said it functioned as the card said. Then guess what happened? People made up ridiculous crazy ideas for how a first aid kit could do 7 damage. "There are scissors, scalpels, syringes and a range of drugs in a medical kit. All could be used to hurt people." That is a DIRECT quote from a real person.
That was a pretty long analogy to make fun of people who are struggling to give a justification for this leaping thorns thing, lol
Hey guys, as you know my time is very important so I'll keep this short. Thorns don't leap
