Notes

If you have at least one energy of Set Roots after the combat:

You feel a vitality moving into your body, as though it's being pulled up through the vines at your feet, healing you for X.

Location	X Range
While outdoors and aboveground*	12-15
Indoors or underground	6-9

And lose all energy of Set Roots. You can gain more than one energy of Set Roots for no apparent extra effect from using it multiple times in combat.
* If you are in no fixed zone location (eg. in Southside starting a fight from inventory, you still get 12-15)
