+====== Roots ======
+{{ rpd:images:roots_sprite.png|Roots }}
+**Roots** is a negative status effect in Remixed Dungeon that immobilizes the affected character and prevents movement.
+==== Effect Description ====
+  * **Type:** Negative Status Effect (Debuff)
+  * **Effect:** Prevents movement while active
+  * **Duration:** Varies by source
+  * **Source:** Primarily from enemy attacks or special abilities
+==== How to Obtain ====
+  * From certain enemy attacks that apply root effects
+  * From environmental effects in specific dungeon areas
+  * From some enemy abilities that restrict movement
+==== Mechanics ====
+  * Prevents all movement while the effect is active
+  * Character can still perform other actions (attacking, using items, etc.)
+  * Can be detached by the Levitation status effect (which is why Levitation mentions it)
+  * Does not prevent other actions beyond movement
+  * Duration typically decreases with higher Magic Defense
+==== Strategy ====
+  * Be cautious when entering areas with plant-based enemies that may apply roots
+  * If you're about to be rooted, try to position yourself advantageously before the effect ends
+  * Carry Levitation potions if regularly encountering enemies that use roots
+  * Can be dangerous if applied near other enemies or hazards
+  * Useful in limited situations where you want to stay in place for ranged attacks
+==== Counters =====
+  * [[rpd:levitation|Levitation]] - Completely removes roots when applied
+  * High-level armor with good magic defense may resist the effect
+  * Some equipment or class abilities may reduce duration
