Tome-ato

Tome-ato is an attacking Plant in the game Plants vs. Zombies: Vortex All Around. He is unlocked in Archived Library after beating ???.
Tome-ato casts targeting orbs, summons powerful lightning strikes, and calls down powerful Tometeors with the help of his staff and the magic tome he's reading.
==Origin==
Tome-ato is based on the Solanum lycopersicum commonly known as the tomato. It's name is a portmanteau of Tome, a large or scholarly book and Tomato, the plant is based on. It's casting ability is based on the tome behind Tome-ato which is based on a Magic Tome.
==Overview==
Tome-ato attacks by casting 3 spells, each with a different effect. The first spell casts homing orbs that split into 3 smaller orbs that target the nearest zombies to the house. The second spell is a thunder strike that will ignite the tile, warming frozen plants and burning zombies. The third spell calls down a powerful Tometeor that explodes into a 3x3 area of sticky tomato tiles that traps Zombies in them for 6 seconds. 
Note that the spells always follow a pre-set order, starting with homing orbs and ending with a Tometeor.
==Plant Food==
Tome-ato casts a huge, burning Tometeor that explodes all over the lawn, spreading sticky, hot tomato sauce that traps AND burns zombies for 5 seconds, followed by several smaller Tometeorites that deal low damage and light splash damage to zombies around it.
== Costume Upgrade ==
When using the costume, Tome-ato's reload time is shortened to 5-8 seconds. The spells are also changed to match Tome-ato's costume aesthetic.
The homing orbs are changed into spicy meatballs that have a chance to stun Zombies they hit, the Lightning Strike will now leave a small pile of pasta that acts as a weak defensive plant, and Tometeor will leave a sizzling sauce for 4 seconds after the tomato sauce is gone.
== Almanac Entry ==
==Strategy==
Since Tome-ato's spells need time to be cast, it is recommended to plant Tome-ato in the back rows where it has more time to cast spells. Since Tome-ato's attacks are random, it is not recommended to be used as a main attacker against strong zombies and instead be used to fight off hordes of zombies.
It is best to save a plant food for Tome-ato when there are a large amount of zombies on the lawn and you need extra time to fend them off, or when Zombies are starting to break through your defenses.
