'''Gaia's Root''' is a cast skill of the [[Rune Officiator]] (Akhan).

<blockquote>Attacks the target by strong arboreous magic. Has chance to slow target.</blockquote>

== Effect ==
A [[Magic damage]] spell. The target is also held in place (it cannot move) for ((2''g'' − 1) × ''L'' + 2 × (''g'' − 1)) × 0.25 seconds × the [[Damage calculation#Level difference|level difference factor]], unless it [[Magic Resistance#Resisting harmful spells|resist]]s.

In the formulas, ''k'' is the skill's step (1 to 24), ''g'' its grade (1 to 4 for I to IV) and ''L'' the step within the grade (1 to 6), so ''k'' = 6 × (''g'' − 1) + ''L''.

== By grade ==
MP per use is for the first to the last step of the grade. [[Skills#Using skills|Recharge]] is at DEX 20; more DEX shortens it.
