Optionally , the caster could make twice as many wall segments of only 5 ft ( 1 . 5 m ) thickness . The barrier could be dismissed by the caster at any time . Impacting or moving through these prickly shrubs subjected the unfortunate being to slashing damage from the thorns . Only creatures with the ability to move through overgrown terrain unhindered could pass " wall of thorns " at normal speed undamaged . The better the armor worn by the victim , the less harm was incurred . Sufficient armor coverage could result in no damage whatsoever . If a creature was caught in the area of effect as the matrix of thorns appeared , they were considered to have impacted the wall and took damage accordingly . If they remained motionless until the spell expired , no further harm occurred , but attempting to leave the area or cutting their way out was considered moving through the barrier and they would again be raked by thorns . There were two versions of this spell . The older version required 40 minutes to hack or chop a path through a 10 ft ( 3 . 1 m ) section safely . The newer version took 100 minutes to go the same distance .

The " wall of thorns " was immune to normal fire , but magical fire could set it ablaze and destroy it completely . The newer version burned away in 10 minutes while the older version became a " wall of fire " ( with the cool side toward the caster ) for 20 minutes before being consumed . The barrier was not a living plant and therefore was not susceptible to spells that effect plants . Components . This spell only needed verbal and somatic components to cast . However , in the oldest druidic tradition , all druid spells required mistletoe as their holy symbol .
