This function designs a fractal pattern that takes on temporary substance that appears as a thick mass of 9' tall iridescent ferns. In no way can the ferns be mistaken for the real article, as they are not green nor do they emit any scent or pollen. They do, however, obscure sight and impede movement. For each level of the mathematician, a 1// square swath of ferns can be constructed. These constructs cause a -5 penalty to all missile weapons, -1 penalty to melee BAtCh, and reduce movement through the artificial jungle to 50% of normal.
