The potency of Ganth Adhesion will last for a time.  See: "Duration" for "Ganth Tree" in the G Section of the Plants Book.
Effect time: Instant.
Explanation and Effects:

The thief will layer any non-soil-like surface with the clear, thick, sap of the "Ganth Tree".

 

This strong sap is nearly invisible to the naked eye, and will instantly adhere to most anything that comes in contact with it.

 

It will hold any creature immobile that has a strength of 1 to 5, which makes it very desirable in that it can be used against insects and small rhodents which come in contact with it. See: "Duration" of the "Ganth Tree" in the G Section of the Plants Book.

 

Any creature that has a 6+ strength will be slowed as follows:

 

Creature's
strength: Movement reduction: Rounded up.
6-10:        -90%
11-20:      -80%
21-30:      -70%
31-40:      -60%
41-50:      -50%
51-60:      -40%
61-70:      -30%
71-80:      -20%
81:           -10%

82+:         Immune.
