I think these are both good ideas. I like the plant/vine theme.
("Vines" and "Roots", hee.) I have a similar spell sketched up. It
sounds much like Summonings/Earth (what a combo!) to me though, not
Enchantment. I wouldn't mind but a Stalker might. :)

Two more suggestions from ##crawl:

Petrify - target is rendered immobile; gets damage reduction (not AC,
which doesn't help against stabbing) (syllogism)

Stasis - target is rendered immobile; gets impenetrable shield
(probably not self-targetable, heh) (can't remember who it was)
