Nature magic

You are surrounded by nature. Nature magic should give you an advantage, if you know how to use it. One of the most basic spells is to manipulate veins and branches to hold and tie up enemies. When the chimera can’t move, you could kill it very easy. You also can use the grass around you to form a weapon out of it. A spear for example. You found out how dangerously this can be when another student tried it during a lesson. Animals are also a part of nature. Since the chimera is made of different animal parts, you probably could use a control spell for wolves to force the monster under your command.
