Vine markers can only be used to ignore the range of a spell targeting the vines zone, object's in that zone, or bordering that zone. So you cannot use a vine to ignore the range into an adjacent zone.


Hypothetically, if the burst of thorns attack had a 0 - 1 Range then you could since the vine is making the attack and the spell is targeting the vine and not the necromancer. However that's not the case here

I'd really like to hear what spell you are using to give the best answer here. You're talking about two different things that you are targeting. You cannot target the necromancer because of obscured. You can target the vine because it is not obscured. If you are using the vine as the source of your spell then obscured is not your problem as the vine is within one range. However, as Karhaz said, you do have to obey the rules and restrictions involved with using the vine as your source.

i was using the new barb of darts (i believe its that name) doblestrike with piercing 2 , i saw their range its 0-1, an i think i could use them to target the necromancer with obscure.

The problem here, as Kharhaz stated, is that the rules for using a Vine as the source prevents you from targeting anything outside of the vine's zone (or a wall bordering it). It doesn't matter what the range on the spell is, when you use a vine as the source you are limited to within that vine's zone (or a wall bordering it).

Now, if it's just the Necromancer who has obscured and not the whole zone, you could target a vine in the zone with the Necromancer to attack them.
